Whistling Eagle Bomber 2022 is one of the winery’s best-selling wines and the fullest expression of the big reds of the Heathcote region — a five-variety blend of predominantly Shiraz and Cabernet, with Sangiovese, Malbec, and Grenache, grown on the ancient Cambrian Earth of the Greenstone Range above Colbinabbin. Easy to drink yet maintaining sophistication, with layers of flavour from each variety melting together into a wine of balance, depth, and the distinctive character that Whistling Eagle Vineyard has built its reputation on since Ian Rathjen’s first vintage in 1997.

Appearance

Deep, rich colour with the depth and intensity that ancient Cambrian Earth and the Heathcote region’s unique terroir consistently deliver — the hallmark of a Whistling Eagle wine grown to textbook perfection.

Aroma

A melting pot of Shiraz, Cabernet, Sangiovese, Malbec, and Grenache — the layered, complex aromatic profile of five varieties in harmonious balance, with the depth of flavour and regional character that the Cambrian Earth of Colbinabbin produces in abundance.

Palate

Supple, generous, and distinctive — easy to drink yet maintaining sophistication, with layers from five separate varieties building to a finish of balance and length. The big red of Heathcote at its most approachable and most rewarding, from one of the region’s most committed and uncompromising producers.

Pairs With

Slow-braised beef short rib, roasted lamb shoulder, char-grilled steak, or a hearty pasta with rich meat ragù — the supple tannins, generous fruit, and layered complexity of the Bomber make it a natural and deeply satisfying partner for the finest food at the table.
