About
Heritage Estate Wines (established 1992) is one of the Granite Belt's most awarded producers, holding a James Halliday five-star rating for five consecutive years. The estate operates two vineyards: Cottonvale (at altitude, producing Chardonnay, Fiano, and Savagnin) and Ballandean (known for Old Vine Shiraz grown from 60-year-old vines, among the oldest in the region). The 95-point Shiraz and Fiano wines were featured in The Australian's Weekend Magazine as Best of the Best. No formal organic certification was found on the winery's website or publicly available sources; the listing remains in this directory based on original data — if you know otherwise, please contact us. On site, the atmospheric converted brick cold-stores cellar door hosts fine dining experiences including an 8-course 5-Senses Black-Tie Dinner, a POETs Progressive Dinner (jeep tour through the vineyard ending in the barrel room), and the Vine plus Dine Journey with sommelier guidance.
