Aromatics of black cherry and plum with floral violets and a dusting of spice; cured meats and charcuterie in the background. The palate continues with its rhone stylings with a leather and earth thread to dark berry fruits that oscillate between floral and savoury in the same sip. Incredible length to finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"review-source\"\u003ewinereviewer.com.au, 12 May, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIronheart is the flagship Shiraz from our single vineyard estate in Blewitt Springs at the northern edge of McLaren Vale.

As the grapes started their ripening process the weather miraculously cooled to one of the mildest ripening seasons, resulting in wonderful concentration of flavour, retention of natural acidity and brightness of fruit, but above all, beautiful finesse, and balanced tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked (21st March), 20% whole bunches, and the remainder has been destemmed, mechanical berry sorted, 30% whole berries and 50% crushed.
