Wine Summary Image

As with previous vintages, the grapes come from two main vineyards, one off the deep red Cambrian soil, the other from tougher more gravelly ground. The first gives us rich, chocolatey and earthy flavours whilst the other has more highly fragrant notes with good acid and sweet fruit. The wine that results is our take on Heathcote shiraz.

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma (Nose)

Lifted and expressive with black cherry, raspberry compote and summer berries, underpinned by vanilla-like oak, chocolate notes and subtle earthy spice.

Palate (Taste)

Rich and juicy with sweet black cherry and mulberry fruit, balanced by chalky, cocoa-like tannins and bright acidity. There’s a savoury edge to the dark fruit core, with some spice and earthy complexity giving it good structure and length.

Tannins & Finish

Medium-to-firm tannins with a long, balanced finish — the palate feels ripe and layered without being overly heavy, typical of Heathcote Shiraz at this price/style point.

Food Pairing

Great with char-grilled lamb cutlets, beef brisket, slow-roasted meats or rich pasta dishes, where its fruit concentration and savoury backbone shine

Winery Profile

The extensive experience and winemaking knowledge of Don Lewis combined with Narelle King's broad thinking and diverse skill set, brought partnership strength to Tar & Roses. For the past three years, Don and Narelle have been making wine in Priorat, Spain, fuelling their intrigue in the classic European varietals, particularly Nebbiolo.

Their interests were not confined to the varietals or wine styles solely in traditional European regions, but how these varieties could be grown and made in Australia.

Back in Australia, Don and Narelle have concentrated on producing wines from these European varietals in their own region - Central Victoria. Here, they make Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese in addition to a Central Victorian Shiraz, one of Don's signature varieties.

Tar & Roses encapsulates the complexity and interest of this story. One that shows the friendship between Don and Narelle, and the multi-regions of Italy, Spain and Australia. It is a brand that speaks of the traditions of wine merging with the cutting edge of Australian winemaking, bridging the old world with the new.
