Reserve Heathcote Shiraz 1858

2006 Heathcote Syrah

Tyrrell's Reserve Heathcote Shiraz 1858 is a captivating expression of the Syrah varietal, showcasing the best of the Heathcote region. This red wine exudes a full-bodied profile, with pronounced acidity that invigorates the palate, leading to a vibrant and mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, revealing layers of dark berries, plums, and subtle hints of spice that weave together elegantly. The tannins are firm and structured, providing a solid backbone that supports the wine's complexity and aging potential. Although it strikes the perfect balance, this wine is crafted to be dry, enhancing its food-friendly appeal. Overall, the 2006 vintage of Tyrrell's Reserve Heathcote Shiraz is a bold and harmonious celebration of the terroir.

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
