The wine
De Bortoli Woodfired Heathcote Shiraz 2020 is a robust, energetic red wine from the Heathcote region of Victoria, Australia, known for its red soils and ideal climate for growing Shiraz. This wine encapsulates the passion and craftsmanship of the De Bortoli winery, one of Australia's most respected family winemaking houses.
Visually, the De Bortoli Woodfired Heathcote Shiraz shows a deep, vibrant purple colour, with edges just beginning to show signs of ripening. Its rich and seductive appearance anticipates the intensity and complexity of aromas and flavours it offers.
Aromatically, this wine displays an impressive spectrum of aromas. Notes of ripe dark fruits such as plums and blackberries predominate, complemented by spicy hints of black pepper and aniseed. The oak influence is well integrated, offering delicate notes of vanilla and dark chocolate that enrich the bouquet without overpowering the fruit.
On the palate, the De Bortoli Woodfired Heathcote Shiraz 2020 is powerful and full, with an energetic entry that gives way to a well-defined and balanced tannic structure. The acidity is refreshing, helping to maintain a good balance with the richness of the alcohol. Black fruit flavours mingle with hints of spice and a light smoky touch, the result of its ageing in oak barrels, which adds complexity to the palate.
This wine is ideal to accompany richly flavoured meals, such as roast meat dishes, grilled lamb or game dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses or spicy dishes that can withstand its intensity. With potential to age gracefully, the De Bortoli Woodfired Heathcote Shiraz 2020 is a superb addition to any wine collection, ready to enjoy now or save for a future special occasion.
