Tasting note

來自Heathcote的成熟風格，濃郁的黑果香帶出香料與草本的氣息，口感飽滿有份量，黑櫻桃、成熟李子的甜美轉為微乾燥的果幹調性，伴隨胡椒與泥土感，單寧結構完整但不粗糙，收尾鮮明而回味。酒莊以 Max’s Garden 的嚴選田塊為基礎，釀酒採小批次分區發酵與橡木桶陳年，目的是保留果實濃度與層次。建議醒酒30–60分鐘再飲，適合搭配炭烤紅肉、野味或熟成乳酪，相當下飯也適合與朋友慢慢品嚐。

A mature, concentrated expression from Heathcote: dense dark-fruit aromas give way to spiced and savoury layers. On the palate it’s full-bodied and weighty with black cherry and plum notes leaning toward stewed/raisin character, alongside peppery spice, a hint of herbal earth and well-structured tannins. The finish is mouthwatering and persistent. Producer notes highlight careful vineyard selection from the Max’s Garden site and hands-on winemaking under Ben Perkins; the wine was vinified in small parcels and matured in oak to build texture and depth. Best decanted about 30–60 minutes to open up; pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, game and mature cheeses.
