Slowly stewed blackberry, vanilla bean, and the memory of dusty country road in summer… who would have thought Heathcote could produce such a Merlot? A pleasant surprise for sure from the kingdom of Shiraz. Another Ellis Wines winner! To stay across all our wine and winery reviews, like us at facebook.com/winehuntersaus
As we recently highlighted on Facebook, (like us at facebook.com/winehuntersaus to not miss a beat!) right now is an exceptional time to buy Australian wines – we haven’t seen value like this in the market for well over five years. More importantly, we all need to take advantage and help support (and in some cases […]
Heathcote Winery 2015 Slaughterhouse Paddock Shiraz – Clove, vanilla, and wafts of cinnamon on the nose roll into a gentle stew on the palate – deep, rich, and plush, but never overbearing. A unique and thoroughly satisfying wine.
Elevated lime with sparkles of soft vanilla. A refreshing & balanced wave of minerality provides the platform for the soft flavours. Soft & restrained but plenty of elements to engage. Generally, we believe Bay of Fires Wines produces some of AUS’s best Riesling by a margin (we LOVED the 2013). This is a continuation of that tradition.
(To stay across all of our wine adventures, like us at: facebook.com/winehuntersaus !) We envy Wine Selectors. They have a model we have, at times, dreamed to emulate. All these great wines we love and write about at Wine Hunters – what if we could make them available to our readers at a small discount?!?!? […]

Last year, we kept a closer tab than in 2018 and so can say with certainty that we tried over 2,000 […]
Previous Next We recently had the opportunity to explore the wine regions around Auckland, NZ. Waiheke Island, a short ferry ride from Auckland (which itself is a short flight from Melbourne), is one not to be missed! Waiheke’s history in wine can be traced all the way back to the 1950s, but its modern history […]
Previous Next Bendigo – Overlook this Amazing Wine Region at Your Peril! Although today it stands in the shadow of its more famous sister-region, Heathcote, Bendigo (which once included Heathcote, before the latter separated itself into its own wine region) remains one of Victoria’s best wine regions and produces some of Australia’s most formidable red […]
Previous Next There are so many hidden gems in Heathcote (the last best place to “discover” wine treasure), but very few shine so brightly as She-Oak Hill. Planted way back in 1975 by the Leckie family, She-Oak Hill stands alongside Jasper Hill Winery and a few others titans as one of the founding pioneers of modern Heathcote […]
