Buckshot Vineyard Heathcote Shiraz 2014

Buckshot Vineyard Heathcote Shiraz 2014Rob and Meegan Peebles established Buckshot Vineyard in Heathcote, Victoria, in 1999. The Shiraz grapes come from a single 5 acre block on an east facing slope just to the southwest of Colbinabbin on the prized Mt Camel Range, where the 100 million year old Cambrian earth is at its deepest up to 6 metres! The mature vines naturally produce small crops of 2 to 2. 5 tons to the acre. "The medium bodied palate is generous and supple, and well balanced,

while the palate is elegantly structured and yet firm

"Elegant medium-bodied

secondary characters and integrated oak

Carefully grown grapes from a noble site deserve the opportunity to express themselves in as pure a form as possible

Half of his parcels are plowed by horse to avoid compacting the soil so that it is better aerated and and he plans to increase that as soon as time and money allow

destined to go the way of most Australian merlot

when examined closely they are all there in the right proportions and on the plus side
