Buckshot Vineyard

This is the venture of Meegan and Rob Peebles, and comes on the back of Rob's 30+ year involvement in the wine industry, including 6 vintages in Rutherglen, starting in '93, followed by 20 years at Domaine Chandon, and squeezing in weekend work at Coldstream Hills' cellar door in '93. It is the soils of Heathcote, and a long-time friendship with John and Jenny Davies, that sees the flagship Shiraz, and a smaller amount of primitivo, coming from a small block, part of a 40ha vineyard owned by the Davies southwest of Colbinabbin. -JAMES HALLIDAY
