2009 Wanted Man White Label Shiraz
Our most approachable Shiraz, picked at a very low yield for maximum quality and fermented to lock in the immediate and distinctive qualities of the Heathcote soil and climate without new oak influence. Fresh, with enticing exotic fruit flavours underpinned with refreshing acidity.
Max Allen (Weekend Australian)
One sniff of this deep purple wine and — wham! — you’re transported straight to Heathcote. Nowhere else produces shiraz with such an amazing combination of cool, sandalwood-drenched perfume and warm blackberry fruit.

Deep purple with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, plenty of cracked pepper and spice with chocolate, leather and violets all combining to create a wildly fragrant and incredibly good smelling wine. On the palate medium to full bodied with thick juicy black fruit, pepper, spice, chocolate and a violet tinged mouth perfume wafting over it all. It is also leathery and savoury with chunky loose knit grippy tannins providing a firm structure and no intrusive alcohol whatsoever. Finishes dry and long. I am very enthusiastic about this wine and only a last minute bout of conservatism stopped me from rating it (even) higher.
