A fantastic opportunity awaits to become part of the renowned Heathcote Wine Region or to expand your existing vineyard portfolio. Situated on a sprawling 30-acre (12.17ha) parcel of land, this property boasts a 22.2-acre (9ha) vineyard, originally planted in 1993 and further enhanced in 1996.
The vineyard showcases an exceptional array of grape varieties, predominantly featuring the Shiraz variety (PT-23 clone). Additional varieties include Viognier, Marsanne, Grenache, Roussanne, and Mataro vines, all meticulously grafted from the resilient 110 Richter American rootstock, rendering them phylloxera resistant. The vineyard consistently yields 45 tonne of exquisite fruit, with opportunity to increase (Tonnage breakdown is below).
This viticultural site has a storied past, as it was the birthplace of Andrew Clarke's 'Jinks Creek' Heathcote Shiraz. In 2006, a fortuitous collaboration between Andrew and renowned Melbourne restaurateur Peter Bartholomew of CODA, MoVida, and Tonka fame led to the creation of the eminent 'Wanted Man' label. Currently managed by Richie Condie of Condie Estate Wines.
Beyond the vineyard, the property boasts essential enhancements, including a spacious 12m x 6m workshed with a concrete floor, power, and water. An impressive 20ML irrigation dam, equipped with pumping and filtration infrastructure, complements the computer irrigation controls. A bore with a substantial 15ML entitlement adds to the property's water resources, ensuring optimal conditions for the vineyard's prosperity. To safeguard the estate, kangaroo boundary fencing adds an extra layer of security.
The land exhibits a diverse range of soil types, predominantly characterized by brown loams adorned with scattered stone, quartz, mudstone, and stone ridges. Some areas showcase "Cambrian" type soils, adding to the property's agricultural richness. The undulating terrain, reaching its highest point near the workshed and descending gradually to the dam on the north-eastern boundary, contributes to the picturesque charm of the estate.
Positioned in central Victoria, Heathcote offers easy access, being only 1.5 hours from Melbourne and a mere 35 minutes from Bendigo. As an established tourist destination, the region benefits from a Mediterranean-style climate, creating optimal conditions for fruit cultivation. With over 60 wineries, the Heathcote Wine Region is renowned for producing some of Australia's finest Shiraz, making this property a compelling investment opportunity in the heart of viticultural excellence.
