Red Edge Tinto Mezclado 2019

Red Edge is the second oldest vineyard in Heathcote, having been planted in 1971. Two hectares of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were planted initially. Further plantings on adjacent blocks have seen the vineyard expand to 14 hectares under vine with some other classic European varieties also planted. The vineyard is planted on the famous Cambrian soil of Heathcote. The soil is vibrantly red, deep, free draining, mineral rich and eminently favourable to the vine, particularly Shiraz. The vines are all dry grown.

A synthesis of the finest Spanish red varieties, grown in Heathcote's unique red dirt. All grown at the Red Edge vineyard, Tinto Mezclado (literally meaning red wine mixture) is a blend of tempranillo, monastrell, graciano and touriga. The wine shows the warmth of the Heathcote climate in juicy bright red fruits and spicy savoury notes from the mineral laden volcanic Cambrian soil.
