Hanging Rock Heathcote Shiraz 2006
	The inaugural release was 1987, and what a vintage it was, immediately claiming gold and winning comparisons to Grange Hermitage by the wine press. And so the legend was born. From from fruit grown to the estate Athols Paddock vineyard, a traditional Heathcote Shiraz, big, rich and powerful with an elegance that is rare in Australian red wine. "This is a beautiful expression of Heathcote Shiraz which is, to us, what the region is all about. The object in Heathcote, surely is to make spicy, elegant, complex Shiraz. This is such a wine!" -Winewise Heathcote
	Each $64.99 Dozen $779.88	Hanging Rock acquired an established vineyard which came up for lease in the 1980s, located on the southern slopes of Mt. Camel to the north of the Heathcote township. The combination of low rainfall, hot summers and red Cambrian soils formed a challenging environment in which the Shiraz vines thrive, albeit producing low yields of small berries with intense flavours. Hanging Rock is picked on the basis of flavour characteristics, profiles of pH, natural sugar and tannin ripeness for consistency. The finished wine is matured in a selection of completely new, steam bent American oak for two years, which offers a subtler flavour than its fire coopered counterpart, while still contributing to the tannin that's needed for longevity
	Dark plum with a deep purple hue. Intense rich, ripe blackcurrant and mulberry aromas with vanilla and spicy overtones. The palate is very intense and yet well balanced between fruit, oak and chalky tannins. The complex spicy, sweet and savoury flavours of the wine builds in the mouth and crescendos to an amazingly long finish backed by a great acid back bone and tannic structure that asserts Hanging Rock will continue to evolve for a very long time. Have it today alongside braised hare with a tarragon red wine jus, osso bucco and venison. "Rich berry and mulberry fruit with a touch of spice, mint and pepper are the hallmarks of this central Victorian red, along with well handled oak and silky tannins!" -Courier Mail
