Sanguine Estate Progeny Shiraz is a trophy-winning Heathcote red named after founders Lyn and Tony Hunter’s children, Mark and Jodi. Predominantly Shiraz with approximately 2% to 3% Viognier, it combines perfumed aromatics, concentrated dark fruit and a lush, approachable palate with the structure to mature for more than a decade.
Producer Tasting Notes
Impressive deep ruby red. A classic progeny with a touch of Viognier giving this Shiraz a violet lift with ripe plum and blueberry fruit. A complex wine with rich ripe fruit and dried herbs notes. Lush and soft palate that drinks well now but will reward the patient.
Critic Reviews
95 Points – Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion Tasted 09 December 2025 Published 03 March 2026 A strikingly deep purple in the glass surrounded by a swathe of dark spices, dark fruits and oh-so bright and lasting drinking pleasure … engaging fragrant perfume, generosity of Heathcote black fruits, spice, light savoury nuance, beautifully balanced tannins and just its overall joie de vivre.
90 Points – Aaron Brasher, The Real Review Tasted 20 November 2025 Dense, dark and youthful in the glass. Lifted aromas of blackberry, mulberry, ferrous earth, dried flowers, spice and dried herbs. Full-flavoured, with lashings of dark fruits, spice, firm, granular tannins and a lick of nutty oak. Long, layered and smart value.
