The 2024 Tellurian Estate Tranter Shiraz is a vibrant Heathcote Shiraz that highlights the region's renowned red Cambrian soils and warm climate. Crafted in a modern, medium to full-bodied style, it opens with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and ripe plum, layered with notes of cracked pepper, violet and subtle spice that reflect the distinctive character of Heathcote fruit.
On the palate, it is rich yet well balanced, with fine-grained tannins, fresh natural acidity and a smooth, generous texture. Flavours of blackberries, mulberries and dark plum are complemented by hints of liquorice, cocoa and savoury spice, while restrained oak adds depth without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, dry and finely structured, carrying impressive concentration and regional character.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, the 2024 Tellurian Estate Tranter Shiraz is an excellent choice for those who enjoy refined Heathcote Shiraz with vibrant fruit and savoury complexity. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, slow-roasted beef, barbecued steaks, venison or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years as it develops additional depth and complexity.
