This Single Vineyard Shiraz comes from carefully selected sections of our family's vineyard, Heathcote Estate in Drummonds Lane, Heathcote in Central Victoria. The vineyard was planted in 1999 on the famous strip of 500 million year old Cambrian soil that defines the heart of the region.
A long bone-chilling winter in Heathcote led into a mild and suitably wet spring, continuing the string of La Nina’s. Soil moisture was key to getting the season off to this great start. Mild conditions continued throughout the summer and the harvest was a month later than our earliest every vintage, it commenced on the 2nd of March. The quality of the fruit was as good as we could wish for. 2023 was the second year certified 100% organic from the estate after 3 years of transition from 2018.

"Delves deeply into the heart of Heathcote shiraz and it's there that lovers of the grape will find total enjoyment. Gotta love the combination of black and red fruits, the energy they emit, and the elegant addition of spices, briar, earth, smart vanillin oak and a mineral-like vigour that flows through the wine. It's swept along in grainy, ripe tannins, lingering long on the finish." Jeni Port
