2019 SANGUINE ESTATE PROGENY HEATHCOTE SHIRAZ

$25 / 2028

It is clear that we have here a shiraz specialist who pays close attention to style and quality at every price point. A $25 shiraz, Progeny hits above its weight in complexity and fruit vibrancy, all with just a relatively light dusting of oak (9 months in French oak and only 10% new). A serious wine, deep, impenetrable ‘Heathcote purple’ in hue. Hits high notes of violets, blackberry, briar, bramble and spice. Oak is ne’er to be seen, but its warm, textural affect on the palate is. A hint of mint gives you a glimpse of the local terroir. Delicious. JP 14.8% alc.

What makes this wine ideal for right now?

Having already achieved a trophy and numerous medals, the 2019 Progeny Shiraz is incredible value for money, particularly if you take advantage of the volume deals. As an approachable young wine, it will sell out fast.
