Kennedy Shiraz 2012 (12 x 750mL), Heathcote, VIC.

We spent our childhood on farms and have a genuine love for the land and the way of life.

In 1981 we began wheat and sheep farming at Corop in north central Victoria. We started with basic machinery, quality soil and plenty of enthusiasm. In 1982 we ventured into growing tomatoes. The fact that we did not have experience in this form of horticulture was given only passing concern.

In 2001, while still growing tomatoes and cereals, we were fortunate to purchase land on the Mount Camel Range. This land has been prized for cereal cropping and in later years much sought after for grape production.

We planted the first Shiraz vines in 2002 and the first vintage was produced in 2005. We are thrilled with the quality of this wine and the feedback we are receiving. We are lucky to have many helpful neighbours and have employed vineyard, wine production and marketing experts including the noted winemaker Sandro Mosele.
