St Anne’s Tatalia Heathcote Shiraz 2022 is a premium, new‑French‑oak aged Heathcote red, drawing on that classic deep red Cambrian soil to deliver dark fruit, spice and serious structure in the glass. It is rich, toasty and built in a more opulent, age‑worthy style than the regular Bendigo Shiraz.

Expect deep colour with aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry alongside black pepper, vanilla, toasty oak and a touch of menthol lift. The palate is full‑bodied and powerful – dark fruits, peppery spice and chocolaty depth supported by firm tannins and lingering oak, thanks to 24 months in new French barriques.

On the table, Tatalia Heathcote Shiraz 2022 begs for slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, rich beef casseroles, char‑grilled ribeye or venison, where its weight and oak soak up the richness. It will also shine with hard aged cheeses or a wintry charcuterie spread, and has the structure to improve comfortably over the next decade.
