2019 SANGUINE ESTATE PROGENY HEATHCOTE SHIRAZ

- Mark Hunter

$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.
