Porterhouse Heathcote Shiraz 2024 (Australia)

Porterhouse Heathcote Shiraz 2024 (Australia)Big, bold and straight out of Heathcote. This full bodied Shiraz enjoys plenty of personality and brings serious flavour to the table. Think vibrant dark fruits, cloves and vanillin spice, hints of smoky oak and just the right amount of black pepper. All wrapped up in a mouthful of plush supple tannins that keep the party rolling. The Heathcote 2024 vintage started with a wet winter. The vineyards enjoying much higher rainfall than the previous two

Big, bold and straight out of Heathcote. This full bodied Shiraz enjoys plenty of personality and brings serious flavour to the table. Think vibrant dark fruits, cloves and vanillin spice, hints of smoky oak and just the right amount of black pepper. All wrapped up in a mouthful of plush supple tannins that keep the party rolling.

The Heathcote 2024 vintage started with a wet winter. The vineyards enjoying much higher rainfall than the previous two years which helped set up a great start to a season. Conditions for much of the remaining season were dry and warm with a couple of very hot days pushing the fruit through to full ripeness. The final few weeks experienced mild conditions and cool nights leading into a mid-February start to harvest that produced slightly higher than average yields. Shiraz was the variety to stand tall.

Sourced entirely from the Ellis family vineyard. These vines are planted on the prized ancient red Cambrian soils of Heathcote (said to be among the oldest soil in the world—over 500 million years).

Fermented on skins in stainless steel for a period of 14 days. Pressed and then transferred for maturation in a combination of American & French oak.

Food Pairing: Porterhouse Shiraz was built for steak nights, loud laughs and the clink of a wine glass. It’s a classic with swagger. Sharpen the knives and fire up the BBQ – The perfect pairing awaits.
