The 2024 Heathcote Cravens Place Shiraz is a vibrant and approachable Australian Shiraz from Victoria’s renowned Heathcote region, known for producing rich, fruit-driven wines with depth and balance. Crafted from 100% Shiraz grown on ancient Cambrian soils, it delivers a generous yet polished style. The nose is expressive and layered, showing blackberry, plum and dark cherry alongside notes of black pepper, spice and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple, juicy texture, offering ripe dark fruit, gentle spice and smooth tannins that lead to a rounded, satisfying finish. The style is rich yet approachable, combining classic Heathcote power with freshness and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent value Shiraz for customers looking for a bold yet easy-drinking Australian red. It’s fruit-forward, smooth and versatile for many occasions. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with BBQ, grilled meats, lamb or hearty dishes.
