Savoury, meaty notes. Shows some wonderful herbal lifted tones on the nose. Blue fruit becomes obvious as the wine opens up. Palate is soft and alluring, with a luscious mouth-feel, blueberry and talc. Tannins dominate, a brilliant long acid palate carries the fruit and flavour profile for a wonderful length.
Overlooking the Campaspe River valley, visitors to Redesdale Estate Vineyard will enjoy the views and Mediterranean style gardens of this quaint restored bluestone dairy. Redesdale Estate’s vineyards are among the oldest in the cool climate southern part of the Heathcote wine region and are grown on old volcanic sendimentary rock and soils.
This rich soil contributes greatly to the intensity and varietal purity of their wines. Planted in 1982, all of Redesdale Estate’s grapes were once sold to a contract winemaker. It wasn’t until 1999 that the winery began producing their own wines. The 1999 Redesdale Estate Shiraz was the first vintage to be labelled under the Redesdale Estate label and was the first of many fine red wines made by their winemaker.
Producing estate grown red wines, Redesdale Estate handpicks their grapes with care. This ensures each bunch is in optimal condition when they begin the winemaking process. The wines are aged in new and one-year-old French oak, and further aged for two years in the bottle. The result is award winning wines that show great elegance.
93 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Good depth to the colour and hue; the complex bouquet and palate explore black fruits, licorice and even notes of tar; the result is a wine of considerable stature, good balance, and a promise of further complexity down the track."
93 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Deep red colour with tinges of brick-red and purple lingering, the bouquet showing the typical dried herb aromas of this vineyard, with traces of mint and oregano. The palate is rich, deep, full-bodied and lovely. Ideal ripeness and excellent structure, ageing in textbook fashion."
