Today, we try one of our very favorites! She Oak Hill Vineyard’s 2015 Estate Shiraz.
She Oak Hill is one of our favourite wineries in the Heathcote wine region. She Oak is very much a Shiraz specialist, and when you visit, you’ll be rewarded with the incredible experience of trying through four or five different vintages of some of Heathcote’s best Shiraz.
As for Heathcote, Heathcote is one of our favourite wine region in Victoria. A full 90 minutes out of Melbourne, it is less visited than the Yarra or Mornington, and that’s good news for you. Heathcote definitely has the highest potential in Victoria for producing stellar Shiraz, and in certain vintages, we would argue that it produces the best Shiraz in all of Australia.
Wow. She Oak Hill’s 2015 Estate Shiraz is one of the best Shirazes we have ever tasted, and we have tasted a lot of Shiraz. This is quintessential Heathcote in its unique combination of power and elegance. There is a little cinnamon and clove in here, but raspberry is the primary flavour character. The textural element of this wine however, is what really sets it on fire. You just get wave after wave of flavour, each next one showing you a slightly different angle on such a beautiful wine. Remarkable. This wine really is Heathcote at its best. You’ve really got to try this one.
What food do you have this wine with? Veal with savoury mushroom sauce!
What friend do you have this with? Your best friend. This wine is worthy of no less.
There are so many wineries in Heathcote to check out. Following are a few. Message us if you’d like a more complete list.
Ellis Wines – Ellis crafted the best Australian Cab Sav we have ever had. I think that says enough about what you can expect when you visit!
Sanguine Estate is one of Australia’s best Shiraz houses. Year after year, they craft wines that capture the essence of Heathcote. No visit to Heathcote is complete without stopping by Sanguine estate.
Idavue Estate is run by an adorable couple, Andy and Sandy, but just because they are cute doesn’t mean they don’t make serious wines. Idavue makes some of the boldest Shiraz in Australia.
Silver Spoon Estate is a very cool winery that pushing the boundaries in Heathcote. It is a dry-grown, off-the-grid, green winery that crafts a range of delectable drops.
Burke & Wills Winery may be one of Victoria’s most underrated wineries. They fly under the radar, and yet they take home prizes like “Victoria’s best Shiraz”. And their Gewurtztraminer – so beautiful.
Condie Estate – Richie Condie has to be one of the most charismatic guys in wine, and his wines are wonderfully characterful as well
