"The 2023 Heathcote Syrah eloquently speaks of the red Cambrian soils upon which the fruit was grown. This is expressed via the mineral, ferrous, bloody sort of outlay of tannins that create the bedrock for the fruit. Speaking of which, the fruit is lightweight and elegant and sweeps across red and black cherries, red apple, green tea, crushed rocks and white pepper, with nuances of blueberries and asphalt. This is an interesting wine; it's engaging and pretty. 13.1% alcohol, sealed under Diam."
