About This Wine
A compelling and intriguing variety which makes an equally interesting wine originally hailing from Campania in the south of Italy. With bucket-loads of natural acid, these grapes stay vibrant and racy through the warm summer of northern Heathcote, meaning Greco can achieve fruit richness without compromising freshness.
The 2021 vintage saw lovely high natural acidities and longer hang time to develop luscious apple and vanilla bean flavours with touches of sandalwood. The mouth is generous with a buttery feel, all riding high on that crips chalky mouth-watering freshness. It’s a wine of complexity and layers and an adventurous palate that pairs very well with richer dishes at the dinner table.

Heathcote Wines
The Heathcote wine region in central Victoria is well known for its excellent red wines, most notably Shiraz. Heathcote reds are defined by their inky depth of colour, and deep, dark complex fruit flavours. This is combined with well balanced tannins and acid that help to give the wines great cellaring potential.
All this is made possible by the terroir. The Heathcote region sits at between 160m and 380m elevation with a temperate climate of even rainfall. The soils are rich in calcium red soils made up of “greenstone”. These soils are prized for their water retention capabilities allowing them to drain freely but still hold enough water throughout the growing season. The grapes that result are small and concentred which in turn make rich concentrated wines.
