Heathcote Estate Shiraz Gift Pack Stock 2018 vino-nobile-di-montepulciano with 18 days’ skin contactFermented in a combination of open and closed fermenters this brightly coloured and complex wine has red and black fruits, a little fresh earth and the oak (French 20% new) has been beautifully handled.
