“The Heathcote Estate Shiraz demonstrates how significant site is to wine quality. Stylistically this wine is closer to the French model than many Australian examples but still has all the weight and richness of classic central Victoria. It is destined to become a district benchmark”. -

The Heathcote region has had a rich and prosperous place in the history of Australia. During the 1850’s, Heathcote was the scene of fevered activity as an important gold field town and today Heathcote is best known for producing another rich and prized gem – Heathcote Shiraz. The rich red Cambrian soil and dry mild climate provide the idyllic foundation for producing world class Shiraz and are indeed the reason why Heathcote is considered one of Australia’s pre-eminent regions for our most noted variety.

Heathcote Estate was established exclusively for the production of one wine a single vineyard Shiraz.
