In the year 1100, an errant arrow fired by Sir Walter Tyrrell, an ancestor of the Tyrrell family, killed King William II (known as Rufus). Today, the site of this infamous incident in New Forest, England, is marked by the Rufus Stone. Our Heathcote estate blend Shiraz is named after this fascinating chapter in Tyrrell family history.
A full-bodied style of Shiraz with intense black plum flavours, white pepper and supple tannins. French oak supports and guides the volume of fruit. Dark chocolate ripe mulberry and plumb linger but finish fresh, bright and pure.
Alcohol – 14.5%
