The Heathcote Wine Region in Victoria,
is renowned as one of the best Shiraz
growing regions in Australia.

Many well known producers located both inside and outside the region, such as Wild Duck Creek, Jasper Hill, Tyrrells, Brown Brothers, Shelmerdine, Hanging Rock and Seppelts, have attained national and international acclaim with their Heathcote Shiraz wines.
