Heathcote Estate was planted in 1999 on the ancient and famed Cambrian soils that define the heart of the region.   The 500-million-year-old soils are the backbone of the distinctive characters of Heathcote wines. 

The Kirby family established Heathcote Estate with the one objective and that was to make one wine - the best single vineyard  Haethcote shiraz. The winery has forged a formidable reputation for wines of exceptional character and longevity. 

Led by talented winemaker  Tom Carson, our philosophy is to craft wines that speak of the distinct charateristics of Heathcote and more particularly, our own individual site.  It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that allows this pure expression of our vineyard and incredible balance in our shiraz. 

Good early winter rains throughout June and July replenished soil moisture. August was dry, and the vines shot into life in September with a nice even budburst considering the cooler than average minimum spring temperatures.  Welcome rain fell during flowering with no major impact on fruit set.

Warmer than average maximum temperatures were seen throughout late spring and early summer, encouraging ideal ripening conditions. The weather pattern then changed, turning cool after a rain event on 9 January and we experienced cooler temperatures throughout the month.  This was ideal weather conditions, allowing the vines to maintain leaf function and general health as we approached the ripening period. 

February saw a return to above average temperatures and this combined with very healthy canopies brought on fruit maturity beautifully.  The vineyard was entirely handpicked with each parcel of fruit carefully selected.
