The Sommet Shiraz is the flagship wine for Heathcote's Tellurian Wines. The shape, presence and poise on display are exemplary.
Made with 10% whole bunch fermentation and spending 18 days on skins before maturing for 8 months in 1–2-year-old 600L demi-muids and barriques, this is a beautifully composed wine. Blackberry pie, dark cherries and blueberries roll through with ease, layered with milk chocolate and a gentle pastry feel. Fine spices frame the palate, adding intrigue and a moreish pull that keeps you coming back. The oak is seamlessly integrated, supporting the silky flow that carries to a finish showing a little clenched fist tension. Over a few days of tasting, it softened and expanded beautifully. Divine.
