De Bortoli Woodfired Shiraz: A Bold Heathcote Red Made for Fire-Led Feasting

Powerful, expressive and full of warmth, De Bortoli Woodfired Shiraz brings the character of Heathcote to the table in a wine made for slow-cooked meats, barbecue and relaxed shared meals.
Crafted in Victoria’s famed Heathcote region, De Bortoli Woodfired Shiraz captures the power and personality of this unique landscape. Grown in ancient, mineral-rich red Cambrian soils, the fruit develops incredible concentration, resulting in a wine of depth and intensity.
Dark and expressive, it opens with vibrant blackberry and blueberry notes, layered with warm spice, liquorice and subtle savoury complexity. The palate is rich and mouth-filling, with soft, supple tannins and a lingering, gently spiced finish that speaks to its origins.
Inspired by elemental, fire-led cooking, this Shiraz is made for bold, flavourful dishes; think slow-cooked meats, barbecued fare or a relaxed pizza night. Generous yet balanced, it’s a versatile red that brings warmth and character to any table.
