Now Spring has arrived everything feels possible.

Now Spring has arrived everything feels possible. The vines are moments from waking, the vegetable garden is getting going, and taking time out to enjoy an afternoon wine in the sunshine seems so much more important.

Our second vintage of Fiano has followed the succe

Our second vintage of Fiano has followed the success of our first, awarded 98pts from Winestate & GOLD at the 2022 Victorian Wine Show.

The sun kissed ☀ fruit of Heathcote expresses with prominent floral aromatics, rich in flavours of white stone fruit and quince, finishing in a soft, but zingy, lemon acid line🍋

As with the majority of our wines, they are crafted in a style that is not dependent on food and are interesting and pleasing to relish a glass on its own.

What might you serve yours with? I like to serve mine with a comfy seat on the deck…

This time last year we were honoured to win the Best Red Wine (Spanish/Italian) Trophy at the 2022 Heathcote Wine Show with our 2021 Tempranillo - little did we know then it would go on to win a further two gold medals and qualify to compete in Canberra at the annual Winewise National Championship. Tempranillo is a variety we have so much love for, and as one of the first producers of Tempranillo in the region we have long believed in its ability to thrive in Heathcote. We have a great team of people involved, our Region, our soils, everything that went right that season, and the magic that is home to thank for this one. . . Farmer & The Scientist - Medallion Winner - Best Tempranillo, 2022 Winewise Championship).

We will be enjoying some of the last stocks of this wine at @Masons of Bendigo final FEAST WITH A FARMER Dinner tomorrow night, where we have matched five of our wines (including some museum and a pre-release) with the incredible set menu featuring McIvor Farm Foods lamb & pork. Bookings via link in Masons of Bendigo bio.

Masons of Bendigo - the dining experience of food

Masons of Bendigo - the dining experience of food artistry that stretches the limits of how much care and attention can be held on a single plate. This winter, we have been introduced to a series of 'Feast with a Farmer' dinner experiences. We are honoured to join the third and final event. In selecting the five wines we have accessed our Museum and personal stocks, including the sold out winner of Best Shiraz at the Victorian Wine Show last year, along with a pre-release 2023 wine in order to create the best matches possible. We would love to welcome you along...

The last leaves of Autumn have been hanging on this year to finish up a late season. Above average rainfall and much cooler weather (bonus: longer ripening means increased flavour development) has left a big impression on the 2023 wines.

That’s a salad wrap people…vintage 2023 is finally over! It’s been our most challenging and best one yet 🎢🍇 super happy to put parts of it behind us, super proud of what we achieved and never before have I been as excited to see the results in the lab (soon). Im zinging with expectations as in the vineyard this one was what we technically refer to as a bloody cracker.

Sun kissed Fiano has reached the winery and is happily enjoying a slow, cool ferment in tank. V23 has been kind to us in providing cooler than average weather, extending ripening length - we have high hopes for this one 😉 💚🥂 #wineloversaustralia #wineoclock #winetime #winetasting #instawine #winestagram #winecountry #fiano

Mum had to be in two places at once today (take grapes to the winery 7 hour round trip & run some hand picking for a customer) AND Dad was driving the harvester SO Boss Man was in charge today of hand picking. Luckily I can handle it and I work for frozen yogurt icy-poles. #familyfarmers #weallchipin #minifarmer #minibossman #heathcote

Into the press she goes…Sav Blanc 💚 our second grape of Vintage 23. Who wants to take a guess which was the first? Clue - most whites ripen before our reds…

Veraison is well and truly here so its the calm be

Veraison is well and truly here so its the calm before the storm. This vintage has been a strange one - an abundance of rainfall right at the time you don’t want it in a vineyard (we are a fussy lot), a colder spring with late and scattered flowering, and nationwide industry destruction due to our spatting with China. Our first vintage with unsold excess grapes - the sheep might be getting a few bins to munch on (yet to check with vet but Im loathe to waste those grapes completely). So thats the situation on the ground. Yet, despite this being our hardest year yet, we are harbouring our best fruit to date and I’ve never been more excited about a vintage. Yields are down and quality is way up…Silver Lining? or cruel twist of fate? Well, its all about perspective really. I’m taking this one as a ‘gift’ - because it will always be about what greets us in the bottle, and this vintage is going to be a cracker 😉

For those of you who didn't know, we not only make

For those of you who didn't know, we not only make Heathcote wines, we are also commercial grape growers. Due to a few changes in our industry, we have come to vintage for the first time with fruit available.

It is a consistent, quality parcel and I'm confident it will bring joy to someone who is looking for fruit.

Our 21 vintage of this fruit won Best Shiraz at the 2022 Vic Wine Show and this one is cropping even lower! I believe in this fruit quality so much I have tripled my production this year. Happy sips ahead!

The vineyard is located in the northern end of the Heathcote wine region (Corop) with the current cropping level of approx. 2t/acre (Shiraz). The vineyard is in great shape and we expect exceptional fruit quality.

All inquiries please contact Brian Dwyer 0418937341 or DM us

*Side Note - these people will not be picking the fruit. We will most likely use a machine or hand pickers who are legally old enough to work. These guys will be busy running drink bottles & picking up rocks for free.

Tonight’s the perfect night to remind you beautiful people that our 2021 Shiraz is an award winner! It has been very popular and there is now very limited stock. So if you’ve been thinking about buying one- this is your friendly reminder that…well… theres not much left 😂🤩😍 order online delivered to your door, via our website. #shiraz #awardwinning #wine #redwine #winelover #heathcote #winefromthebush #winelovers #redwine🍷

Kimmi K can keep her diamonds - this girl will take dirt every time. My breath (and dreams) were taken away by this patch of iron oxide rich paddock along the Mt.Camel Range (Northern Heathcote) that I just had to stop and take some pics. Our soils are the secret sauce in our wines, and what makes Heathcote distinct from other regions. Traveling the Heathcote-Rochester Road you will find so many artisan winemaking farms you will wonder why you never did the drive before.

Heathcote & Rochester await to welcome you...

Red red wine! Happy new year to you wine lovers out there. Speaking of love- this is one of our faves. 2021 Alquemie Shiraz. We are not only growing for intensity in the fruit but are chasing the ultimate balance between elegance and power. The goal is a complete and balanced wine, showing Heathcote intensity, yet restrained enough to highlight fruit characters with grace and poise. #wine #redwine #shiraz #AlquemieShiraz #heathcote #victoria #australia

🍇 oh Shiraz! Indulge yourself in our 2021 deliciousness 🍇 The Heathcote terroir is sought for the robust structure, inherent flavors and spiciness it imparts in Shiraz. It is, for this reason, we can keep our winemaking intervention simple, letting the red soil do the talking in our full-bodied, silky-smooth Shiraz.
