Heirloom Vineyards was founded in 2000 by Elena, a young winemaking student, and Zar, an eccentric wine judge, whose shared passion for wine—and their ensuing love story—became the foundation of the project. Through years of careful experimentation, they focused on cultivating the finest varietal clones under optimal conditions, guided by organic farming principles and a commitment to preserving old-world traditions for future generations. Today, Heirloom crafts wines from select South Australian vineyards, employing minimal intervention, highlighting provenance, purity of fruit, and expert winemaking to deliver benchmark-quality wines that offer exceptional value.
A lifted bouquet of mulberry, cassis, and ripe blackberries opens the nose, followed by shades of dried tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. The palate is marked by a striking balance of dark berry freshness and a meticulously structured tannin frame. Subtle oak notes of sarsaparilla complement bright spearmint accents, all dovetailing seamlessly into a long, sapid finish.
Given this wine’s structure, it shines alongside richly textured, succulent meats. Think pork ribs, a classic Scotch fillet, or a high-quality butcher’s sausage - always a fine match for Cab Sauv.
A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, rich floral, warm spice, olive and cedar characters. The concentrated palate delivers excellent weight and refined texture, wonderfully structured by chalky tannins, offering wonderful frame and length. At its best: now to 2036.
