2022 Nick O'Leary Wines Heywood Shiraz
With it's alluring scents of red fruit and herbs, this gentle, peppery Shiraz is one that glides silky-smooth in the mouth.
Plenty of whole-bunch suppleness - 35% of it to be exact - and supporting old and new (30%) French oak - this is truly a classy Canberran.
Only medium-bodied and fit into a beautiful, sculpted body! Some savoury tannin completes the package.

"If I had to pick one region for its shiraz, Canberra District has my heart. The aromatics, the quality fruit, the plush palate, everything just comes together to produce a fine-boned red. Heywood is no exception. Dark fruit, spicy, cedary oak just a bit player, the shapely detailed tannins, the fine acidity and the overall feel of this wine are all remarkable."
