Syrah 'Heathcote #1'

• Syrah
• Sourced from a single vineyard on the east-facing slopes of Colbinabbin in the northern Mount Camel Range subzone of Heathcote
• The soils are made from the famous ‘Cambrian soils’—red dirt made up of eroded basalt over limestone, shot through with greenstone and jasper
• Fermented with indigenous yeast in concrete and steel tanks, 100% whole bunches
• There were varying levels of crushing and time on the skins, including some full carbonic maceration
• Aged in mostly large, neutral oak (Stockinger), with some in older barrique and concrete tank for 18 months
