Tellurian Wines 'Estate' Victoria 'Evo' Shiraz 2023 - 12 Bottles

Winery Overview

Tellurian Wines is a family-owned vineyard and winery based in the Heathcote region of Victoria. The estate is rooted in organically farmed vineyards perched on ancient Cambrian soils and is widely known for producing elegant, expressive wines that reflect place and time. The “Evo” label – short for “evolution,” captures the estate’s modern take on Heathcote Shiraz: refined, lively and full of character.

Region & Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage in the Heathcote region offered favourable conditions: a cool growing season that preserved fruit clarity and freshness, combined with low yields that added intensity and depth to the grapes.

Source

Grapes are selected from estate-owned vineyard blocks (Blocks 2 & 3) at Tellurian. A small percentage of Mourvèdre is added for spice, savoury lift and complexity.

Winemaking

To craft this wine, 10 % whole-bunch fruit was included and fermented on skins for 14 days. The wine was then matured in older French oak barrels to soften the texture while preserving fresh fruit.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright crimson with purple highlights.

Aroma: Lifted aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and dark berry fruits, accented by hints of violet, spice and fine oak.

Palate: Medium-bodied and refined, showing juicy dark fruit, fine tannins and bright acidity. A twist of spice and savoury complexity adds depth to the fruit-driven core.

Finish: Clean, persistent and smooth with fruit and spice lingering graciously.
