We welcome visitors into our 140 year old cellar, built as a winery originally, where the the wines can be enjoyed. The tastings are by appointment only.
Since 1996 owner & vigneron Peter Dredge has been making powerful yet elegant wines from one of the oldest vineyards in arguably the most famed Shiraz area in Australia - Heathcote.
Heathcote Estate is located in the old bakery building at 98 High Street. It has been converted into a rustic cellar door and cafe offering wine tastings and light lunches.
Bob Downing purchased 24ha of undulating land in 1994, and has established a dry-grown vineyard planted to shiraz (7.2ha), cabernet sauvignon (2.4ha) and merlot (0.4ha)
Located in the coveted south end of Heathcote the vines nestle in the sought after granitic soil amongst dramatic scenery of large granite boulders, majestic rolling hills and imposing gullies all framed by the Great Dividing Range.
Occam's Razor is produced by Emily McNally from organic grapes grown by the Conforti family within the Heathcote region at Mia Mia just south west of Heathcote on granite based soil.
