Armstead Estate has been making exceptional wines since 2005 from vines grown on the beautiful and historic Wild Duck Farm™ and from fruit sourced from some of the best wine growers in the Heathcote Region.

In that rather short time frame we have achieved the distinction of winning bronze medals at the Federation Square wine show in 2008 for both our Roxy’s Paddock 2006 Shiraz and our 2007 Lakeside Marsanne.

The vines were first planted by the Proprietor Peter Armstead in 2001 as the fulfillment of a dream to create a winery producing quality red and white wine varieties.
This first planting is now producing excellent fruit and a full bodied Shiraz wine which has won a bronze medal at the Federation Square wine show in 2008.
Peter is also fastidious in his selection of Marsanne grapes from local growers which are used to produce his Lakeside Marsanne, another bronze medal winner at Federation Square in 2008.

Roxy's Paddock Shiraz

This bold, full bodied wine demands sampling to discover the rich blackberry aromas and delicious black cherry flavours. There is a hint of licorice complexity in the finish and this wine is further enhanced by subtle oak flavours from being matured for 12 months in French and American hogsheads.

Lakeside Marsanne

Surprise yourself. Tropical aromas of pineapple and passionfruit are a highlight on the nose of this refreshing, fulfilling Marsanne. The subtle use of oak adds a dimension to the palate which enhances the lingering apricot finish.
