2023 Wild Duck Creek Estate Ducks & Drakes Heathcote

2023 Wild Duck Creek Estate Ducks & Drakes Heathcote – Ducks & Drakes is a vibrant and characterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that showcases Wild Duck Creek’s ability to combine richness and approachability with genuine complexity. Built around generous Heathcote fruit, it offers a seamless balance of ripe flavours, savoury detail and plush texture, making it both immediately appealing and highly versatile. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is generous and fruit-driven, with flavours of blackberries, mulberries and dark plums at its core. The texture is plush and supple, supported by soft, velvety tannins that provide structure without imposing. Layers of spice, cocoa and savoury herbs build through the mid-palate, adding complexity and depth. Fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced and energetic, carrying the fruit through to a long, smooth finish marked by dark berries, spice and gentle oak notes. A polished and highly drinkable Heathcote red that delivers excellent depth and flavour while remaining approachable from release. Rich enough to satisfy lovers of full-bodied reds, yet balanced and refined enough to pair effortlessly with food. Enjoy now or over the next 5–8 years. Single Price: $60.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $45.00
