The Heysen Shiraz is one of our top Shiraz wines and was first released in 1989. It is made from dry grown Shiraz planted in sandy soils with a varying amount of 1-4% Cabernet Sauvignon, depending on the vintage.

Typically matured in larger format, French puncheon barrels for a more restrained oak treatment, the Heysen is characterised by a velvety texture and more aromatic style.

This 2017 Heysen Shiraz displays ripe, juicy berry and spice flavours with well-rounded tannins and a very good, lengthy finish.  A luscious, full-bodied wine that is flavourful and impeccably balanced whilst maintaining a real sense of elegance.  This wine is a classic Barossa Shiraz which will provide pleasure for many years to come.

An excellent cellaring wine with typically 10-15 years ageing potential for optimal drinking.

95 GOLD POINTS - Halliday Companion 2021 "A wander on the Heysen walking trail on the western border of the Rolf Binder estate probably elicits the same Aussie bush scents as its namesake shiraz: pepperberry, briar, touch of mint, eucalypt. It beautifully encapsulates a sense of place. Stands tall in the glass with pronounced black plums, currants, nutmeg, cloves. Palate is velvety, tannins are plush and the oak shows care." Jeni Port
