Our five hectare family vineyard produces premium fruit and wines which reflect both our unique terroir and way in which we manage our low yielding, dry grown vines. Recognised for their spice and rich, dark fruit characteristics, She-Oak Hill wines represent the best of traditional Heathcote Wines. Planted in 1975 by Gordon Leckie senior, the next generation of the Leckie family continue to produce outstanding wine from their boutique vineyard on She-Oak Hill in the Heathcote Wine Region. She-Oak Hill Vineyard is located on the western side of the Northern Highway, five kilometres north of the township of Heathcote on the narrow band of Cambrian soil renown for its production of premium fruit. The wine made from our fruit at neighbouring Sanguine Estate by Mark Hunter reflects both our unique terroir and the traditional viticultural practices employed.
