Claim Winery
Heathcote Estate is a thoroughly professional venture, a partnership between Louis Bialkower, founder of Yarra Ridge, and Robert G. Kirby, owner of Yabby Lake Vineyards, director of Escarpment Vineyards (NZ) and chairman of Village Roadshow Ltd. They purchased a prime piece of Heathcote red Cambrian soil in 1999, planting shiraz (30 ha) and grenache (4 ha), the latter an interesting variant on viognier. The wines are matured exclusively in French oak (50% new). The arrival of the hugely talented Tom Carson as Group Winemaker can only add lustre to the winery and its wines. The opening of the cellar door, situated in an old bakery in the Heathcote township sees a relaxed dining area with indoor/outdoor seating and offers a range of Grossi produce. Exports to the US, the UK, Canada, Sweden, Singapore, Hong Kong and China.
