Heathcote Winery's Mail Coach Shiraz has established itself as one of the most popular wines from the renowned Heathcote region of Central Victoria. Grown predominantly on ancient red Cambrian soils, this wine is made from a blend of Heathcote Winery's two estate vineyards. With clonal and soil diversity between the vineyards, this Shiraz captures the essence of what makes Heathcote a truly world class Shiraz producing wine region. Dark purple vibrant red in colour, the 2024 Heathcote Mail Coach Shiraz offers intensely berry driven aromas intermingled with plum pudding spice and freshly ground coffee. The palate is concentrated and full of primary fruit flavours that are held together by silky tannins and syrupy fruit persistence. A complex and layered wine with wide appeal, this will be enjoyed by the many fans of Mail Coach Shiraz. "Heathcote shiraz picks up some shimmer in its deep purple hues and dances just a touch more brightly with a splash of viognier. The Mail Coach style is all medium bodied and velvety, delivering ripe red and dark plum fruits with a flowing blueberry juiciness and plenty of background spice, peppered berries and warm vanillin oak. A fine tannin presence brings structure to the generosity. Finishes on a bright, high note. 93 Points. $36. Drink: 2025 - 2033. 14.5% alc. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.
