Heirloom Vineyards is a venture of Zar and Elena Brooks, 'the lofty
aim of which is to preserve the best of tradition, the old world of
wine, the unique old vineyards of South Australia and to champion
the best clones of each variety, embracing the principals of
organic and biodynamic farming' - James Halliday 2011. Halliday
named Heirloom as one of the best new vineyards in Australia in
2011, saying the quality of the new wines is outstanding. Seven
long vintages of trial and error have passed before Heirloom
Vineyards were satisfied they had made a wine fine enough to
pass on to future generations.
Vibrant ruby in colour, this wine opens with aromas of raspberry and redcurrant with nuances of mint and forest floor. The palate shows flavours of black cherry and plum, alongside well-integrated notes of cedar and pepper from the time in oak. This is complemented by a fresh natural acidity, fine tannins and a lingering finish.
