Situated in the Heathcote region, famous for its ancient red Cambrian soil, Kennedy wines are quickly developing a name for high-quality Shiraz.
The 2013 vintage Shiraz is a deep purple-red in colour. Aromas of mixed spice gradually open up to reveal blackcurrant and peppery notes. The palate is layered and complex, with ripe red fruit flavours and spicy undertones. Texturally mouth-coating, with fine-grained tannins, this Shiraz is expressive of the region and thoroughly enjoyable.
From the Winery
The 2013 Kennedy Shiraz is a classic expression of our Heathcote vineyard. With fruit handpicked after a warm summer, this wine demonstrates elegance and layered complexity. It has a bright purple hue with aromas of red berries, cassis and lifted floral notes, backed by sweet spice and graphitic earthiness. In the mouth, red crunchy fruits and spice are carried by a firm acid-line and fine coating tannins, resulting in a long finish. After three years in bottle, this wine is drinking well now, however it will reward those who can cellar for a further five years.
