Heathcote

Heathcote is recognised as a producer of extraordinary Shiraz wines, even rivalling those of the Rhone Valley from where the grape cuttings were originally sourced, and is home to  winemakers who have achieved international fame for their representations of Australian Shiraz. However, other red wines of quality also have emerged, as well as whites such as Chardonnay and Viognier.

Heathcote wines are perceived as exclusive, not only because of their extremely high quality, but because of the difficulty in obtaining them.
