The Camelback Vineyard is located in the heart of the Heathcote wine growing region of Victoria famed for producing some great Shiraz.

Vine planting commenced in 2000 at the Camelback vineyard, named after the nearby Camel Ranges. The vineyard now comprises some 110 hectares. Located in Central Victoria about 100 km north of Melbourne, the Heathcote wine region is classified as warm and rainfall is limited. The growing season is warm and dry with relatively even temperature ranges during the ripening season. The harvest occurs from late February.

The Camelback vineyard focuses on Shiraz, a variety that is now recognised as producing exceptional wines in Heathcote, along with smaller plantings of two other “Rhone” varieties; Viognier and Grenache. In keeping with the innovative nature, the balance is planted with less common grapes such as Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Montepulciano and Nebbiolo, which all show exciting potential.
