Heirloom Anevo Fortress McLaren Vale Grenache Touriga Tempranillo 2016

Three Gold, a Trophy and 95 points for this Spanish-inspired Heirloom blend

Heirloom winery was listed as one of Halliday’s Best New Wineries in 2012, and just four years later has achieved an impressive 5 red star status. Heirloom’s mission is to preserve and champion South Australia’s unique old vineyards and varieties. Along the way, they’re turning out some outstanding wine - like this one here! “A velvety red with pure (mostly red) berried fruit and classic inlays of cedar wood and spice. Smoky oak loosens the safety catch and lets the wine have it. Tannin here, both al dente and firm, is just so beautifully handled. Indeed the wine as a whole is a treat. ... 95 points” (Halliday).
