The 2022 vintage was exceptional in Heathcote, with all the makings of our finest yet.

One of our coldest winters in recent memory was followed by a warm and dry spring, with perfect, even set and growth. The warm, dry and consistent conditions prevailed throughout summer, resulting in highly concentrated small berries.

The vintage shows truly classic ‘Heathcote’ character – exceptional concentration and detail, tightly packed savoury tannins, and quintessential gunflint, graphite-like character so unique to the our vineyard, coupled with a spectrum of vibrant fruit flavours. The incredible structure and detail of these wines ensures their longevity.

We have bottled four wines from this remarkable vintage, including two Single Block Releases – Block C & Block F. It has been a long, four year wait for this release of block wines, further reinforcing our high standards with regard to bottling special release wines.

For the first time, we have also released a ‘Shiraz Pressings’. The pressings are the last precious few litres that trickle out of the press as it nears completion. A wine for the long term, the Shiraz Pressings is a firmly structured wine with savoury tannins, and yet incredible perfume and sense of elegance.

About Heathcote Estate Wines

The Heathcote region has had a rich and prosperous place in the history of Australia. During the 1850’s, Heathcote was the scene of fevered activity as an important gold field town and today Heathcote is best known for producing another rich and prized gem – Heathcote Shiraz.

Heathcote Estate was planted in 1999 on the ancient Cambrian soils that define the heart of the region. The 500-million-year-old soils are integral to the distinctive characters in these special wines.

The Kirby family established Heathcote Estate with the sole objective to make one wine – a single vineyard shiraz. And over the past decade, the label has forged a reputation for wines of exceptional character and longevity. Led by winemaker Tom Carson, the philosophy is to craft wines that speak of the distinct characteristics of Heathcote and more particularly, this unique site.

Heathcote Estate was established exclusively for the production of one wine a single vineyard Shiraz.
