Tar and Roses Heathcote Shiraz 2009
Mitchelton is one of Victoria’s most historically important wineries and especially in the eighties and nineties, then winemaker Don Lewis was crafting some of the best reds in to come out of Mitchelton. Times change and other wineries have since overtaken Mitchelton in regards to quality and popularity but drinking the wines made under Don Lewis from their glory days today (nearly twenty years down the track), it is still obvious that these wines deserved the accolation that they received.
Winemaker Don Lewis adores the tannins, structure and distinctiveness of Spanish wines. The grapes for Tar & Roses are from three distinctive Heathcote vineyards, two of which must be hand picked, all components are treated separately during their fermentation and maturation. The larger volume of shiraz comes from richer Cambrian soils, while the smaller parcel is grown to much tougher grantic soils. The first component makes a rounder, fuller fruit driven wine, while the latter is more restrained and elegant.
