Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep crimson with vibrant purple hues, this Heathcote Shiraz exhibits exceptional clarity and intensity. The wine's spectacular colour reflects its concentration and careful vineyard selection from the region's ancient Cambrian earth.
Aroma
The nose reveals layers of dark plum, blackberry and mulberry, complemented by subtle notes of black pepper, liquorice and cedar. French Oak maturation contributes elegant vanilla and spice nuances, whilst the minimal intervention approach preserves the pure fruit expression and regional character.
Palate
Full-bodied and beautifully balanced, the palate delivers rich dark fruit flavours with velvety tannins and remarkable depth. Blackberry and plum dominate, supported by savoury notes of dark chocolate, espresso and subtle earthy minerality. The traditional winemaking methods and French Oak influence provide structure and complexity, leading to a long, elegant finish with persistent fruit and fine-grained tannins.
Pairs With
The Eagles Blood Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, grilled ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, or aged cheddar and charcuterie. The wine's depth and balance also complement rich game dishes such as venison or duck, whilst the velvety tannins cut through the richness of braised beef short ribs or mushroom risotto.
