2022 Nick O'Leary Shiraz 6 Pack

96 POINTS

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Wine Companion

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.

Fruit comes off eight sites with 30% whole bunches in the ferment, a mix of extended maceration (up to two weeks) and pressed to French oak barriques, 25% new. It’s peppery, spicy and floral to start. Red and black plums, warm earth and tar, juicy and tangy aross the medium-bodied palate. Textural, grainy tannins and plenty of acidity keeping this buoyant and delicious.
