Paul Osicka Selection Heathcote Sangiovese 2024
DOZEN: $345.60 or $28.80 each
SIMON OSICKA
...These ‘Selection’ wines come from outside the estate, and posit another level of value and value add to the existing Osicka stable of wines. This wine feels like a red someone would drink in a tavern, taverna, bistro or trattoria – varietal, accessible, x-factor, deliciousness. Not quite the right label here but close enough. At $28 at full whack this is another gift from the Osicka family.
Red cherry, stewed and fresh, some pomegranate juice, a dash of woody spices, some blood orange, a lick of dark chocolate, a pinch of pepper. Tannins tumble in with a gruff but pleasing and somewhat light chew. A graphite mineral line lends detail and a lift. Acidity takes its cue from the blood orange. Pitch perfect. It sits at around medium weight, it’s chuggable and gluggable and damn good. (93) MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front
Paul Osicka is a Czech-born vigneron who, after emigrating to Australia, established the Paul Osicka Wines winery in Graytown, Victoria, in 1955, notes Paul Osicka Wines. It is the longest-established wine producer in the Heathcote wine region. The estate-grown wines are now made by his son, Paul Osicka Jr., and grandson, Simon Osicka, who continues the family winemaking tradition with a focus on premium, estate-bottled wines, such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
