Z Wine Hein Ancestor Vine Shiraz 2017

The 2021 Z Wine Hein Ancestor Vine Shiraz is a profound expression of Barossa Valley terroir, showcasing a deep garnet hue. The nose is a symphony of dark plum, blackcurrant, and a hint of cracked black pepper, underscored by subtle notes of anise and cedar. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a seamless integration of oak, offering layers of ripe blackberry and mocha. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering minerality that speaks to its ancient vine origins. This Shiraz is a benchmark for the region, promising both immediate pleasure and potential for graceful aging.
