Heirloom Vineyards, Barossa (South Australia) Shiraz 2016

Jan 30, 2018

By Robert Whitley

  Nothing says Shiraz quite like Australia’s Barossa Valley. This is the home of big, bold Shiraz that gets your attention with its raw power. This vintage from Heirloom has all of that and more. Beautifully structured, it is at the beginning of what promises to be a long life. It exhibits exceptional fruit purity, primarily blueberry, with loads of spice and a touch of mocha. It’s definitely an Aussie bad boy, but in a good way. A Platinum award-winner at the 2018 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
