Tasting Notes
This soft and forward edition of the DC Shiraz was ready willing and able to please from the moment it was bottled. A very small quantity of top end fruit was harvested in 2020 and no expense was spared to live up to the quality expectations Heartland drinkers have come to enjoy. This is blackberry jam and dark chocolate mousse with hints of vanilla and cinnamon running through the palate.
Vinification
The grapes are selected from some of the best Shiraz vineyards in the region. These vineyards are chosen for the consistent intensity and texture of the fruit. The strictest pruning techniques are used. The fruit for Directors’ Cut Shiraz was harvested at night and then crushed to small open top stainless-steel fermenters.

Vintage
Lower than average crops were the result of a dry flowering season. Temperatures were unusually mild. Harvest began on the 6th of February, with our Shiraz being picked in early March.
A long cool growing season led to excellent phenolic ripeness and intense color and an inviting brightness on the palate.
