Cellar Door Shiraz 2023

A brooding Heathcote Shiraz, rich in personality with spice, power, and a wild streak of complexity.

Tasting Notes

Jammy black fruits, anise and a whisper of tobacco lead into robust, earthy tannins. A flicker of white pepper and clove spices carries through a long, warming finish.

Vineyard & Winemaking

Harvested in the cool of early morning, fermented on skins for 10 days, and matured in oak for full malolactic fermentation. A bold expression of Heathcote’s volcanic soils.

Food Pairing

Best with chargrilled steak, venison or smoked eggplant.

How to Serve

Best served between 15°C to 17°C. Too warm and the alcohol dominates, too cold and you miss the spice. Serve Shiraz at a slightly cooler temp than you’d expect — it draws out the wine’s complexity, from juicy black fruits to savoury pepper and oak.
