NOTES
Brown Brothers in Milawa, north-eastern Victoria, is one of the icons of winemaking and wine tourism in Australia. Operated in the King Valley by a pioneering winemaking family, they are always exploring new varieties.
Brown Brothers believe that wines are as different as the ‘people who drink them’ which is why they have developed a comprehensive range of wine styles and blends. With vineyards located in a diverse range of climatic regions and a 'kindergarten' winery specifically designed for innovation, Brown Brothers draws from a patchwork of vineyards to make a number of wines – many such as the Limited Release wines which you will only find at cellar door and a handful of fine wine merchants.
TASTING NOTES
Cellar Door wines provide you with the opportunity to explore new wine varieties and styles. The range includes limited releases of new varietals, experimental batches and optimum aged wines of which you will some at a handful of fine wine retailers.
The grapes for this wine were grown at our renowned Brown Brothers award winning Heathcote vineyard in Central Victoria. Heathcote Shiraz boasts a deep ruby red colour with vibrant purple hues and aromas of black berries, white pepper and mint. Generous berry fruits with spicy notes carry through to the palate, which is typical for the Heathcote area. The 2007 Heathcote Shiraz also displays balanced acidity, integrated tannins and a lingering palate. This wine will gain complexity with age.
