Broomhead + Healy Single Vineyard Old Vine Reserve Shiraz

Prepare to be blown away! An utterly jaw dropping, blockbuster Aussie Shiraz with all the trimmings (and then some!) that absolutely smokes any other Aussie red in and around the $25-30 price point!

This is the encore release of this very limited edition release (seriously, only 6 barrels made the selection!) and is made with one aim in mind – to produce an Aussie red exclusively for the NZ market that over delivers for the money. Does it what – this has it in spades!

A collaboration between Matt Broomhead (winemaker at Three Dark Horses) and David Healy (wine importer and distributor) and in their own words – “We won’t bore you with the usual descriptives, you be the judge of this old school Shiraz. Drink with gusto!”

If you’ve tried any of the Batch Shiraz releases over the years – this is like a Batch Shiraz on steroids…

* From an excellent 2022 McLaren Vale vintage (rated 9/10 by James Halliday)
* Single vineyard fruit from the Blewitt Springs sub region
* Hand picked fruit selected from just 12 rows
* From gnarly old vines planted in 1965
* Just 6 barrels selected for this wine
* Aged in expensive French oak (50% new) for 24 months

Scoring 5 Stars & 95/100 with local critic Sam Kim who said “Opulent and enticing, the bouquet presents dark fruit richness, vanillin oak, star anise, and dark chocolate aromas, culminating in a concentrated palate that offers excellent depth and persistence. Wonderfully framed by plush texture and beautifully melded tannins, this wine finishes superbly long and gratifying”.

A deep, dark, inky colour in the glass with an instant nose of a Shiraz of SERIOUS quality. A delicious big, powerful and rich style that’s jam packed with lashings of fruit and a long, luxurious finish. It’s an absolute treat for the old skool Aussie Shiraz lover.

Extremely limited in supply. Buy more than you need – you’ll be glad you did.
