That’s a salad wrap people…vintage 2023 is fin 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.

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 beauti 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 tak 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...

🍇 oh Shiraz! Indulge yourself in our 2021 delic 🍇 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.
