Description:
A fine wine with a focus on the fruit this is a light gold coloured 100% Chardonnay. Displaying tropical fruit aromas it is full bodied with a creamy character and length on the finish.
Founder and former racing car driver turned wine producer, Alan Heath, purchased from his retiring next door neighbour a 100 year old dairy farm in the premium wine growing region the 'Adelaide Hills' in South Australia.
Paying great attention to soil type, climate, row sizes, ripping, water quality, varieties and cloning attracted the immediate attention of Penfolds who contracted the fruit from his premium vineyard for a number of years. The purchase of the Vineyard was the start of a journey that culminated with the formation of Heath Wines in 1998.
Alan's days as a grower taught him some valuable lessons. Sourcing of fruit is driven by the 'best sub-region for each varietal' and the 'best vineyard for each sub-region.'
As a result of this Alans philosophy is simple 'We are committed to and focus on producing handcrafted wines with fruit driven varietal flavours, structure and balance.'
This deep red wine with attractive crimson hues has complex aromas of dark cherries and coffee / chocolate with a hint of spice combining very nicely. The palate is medium to full-bodied with full flavours of berry fruits and dark chocolate, supported by subtle oak and grainy but soft tannins with a nice clean finish.
