Thrilled to announce that our wines have done exceptionally well again the 2014 Heathcote Wine Show. They were lined up with over 200 other shiraz from the region and we came out with a trophy and 10 medals.

2008 Mail Coach Shiraz took out the top gold and trophy for the second year in a row in the category Best Table Wine 2008 and Older. The 2010 Wilkins Shiraz, 2004 Curagee Shiraz and 2010 Mail Coach Shiraz all won gold medals. Fantastic work guys!

Very honoured to be named Best Large Cellar Door and Cellar Door with Best Food for the Heathcote Region in the latest issue of Gourmet Traveller WINE. Congratulations to our chef, Kath Carroll and the rest of the team.
