Winemaker's Note
Sangiovese has clearly found its home-away-from-home on Heathcote's ancient red soils, staking a legitimate claim as a world-class destination for this ancient Italian grape.
Our plantings are a mix of mature and teen blocks in which we have the guilty pleasure of access to 7 different clones of Sangiovese: a heady choice of superior modern Italian selections plus a mysterious suitcase clone from Montalcino, allegedly smuggled into Aus some decades ago. Mostly dry-farmed, these vines live with minimal intervention amidst our interplanted ecosystem, using regenerative techniques.
From here we choose our clones based on complementary flavour profiles through to harvest. The fortunate clusters are hand-picked & whole-berry fermented in open-top batches seducing us to deliver personalised loving care. After macerating at length on skins, 8 Track Sally swirls away for 14 months in a concrete egg to soften, marry and enhance aromatic intensity, before bottling unfined and unfiltered.
The 2023 vintage is an enticing union of fruit-driven & savoury characters persisting across a decadently rich yet pillowy-soft palate of extensive finish.

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.
