Long Block Estate, North Redesdale Road, REDESDALE, VICTORIA 3444
Longblock estate, a small family owned and operated winery, has been cultivating vines since 2000. Situated in the southern part of the Heathcote region, the vineyard is situated on a site specifically chosen for its mix of cambrian and granite laden clay soils, and the easterly aspect of the protected river valley. The vineyard consists predominantly of the shiraz variety with a couple of cabernet and merlot vines thrown in for good measure. Our temperate climate and low rainfall, coupled with our decision not to irrigate means the crop remains small but bountiful. With an eye to making quality wine, the yield is kept low and the picking time is carefully monitored to ensure fruit is at its optimum.
