Behind the mystery label lies one of Heathcote’s best kept secrets a family-owned vineyard quietly producing medal-winning Shiraz that rivals bottles twice its price.
Heathcote Creek Shiraz 2022 is the latest chapter in a story that began in 2004, when vines were first planted on the deep, ancient Cambrian soils of Heathcote. The vineyard’s first harvest came in 2007, and since then the wines have steadily gained recognition, including silver medals for the 2010 and 2013 vintages, and a stellar 93-point silver medal at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards for the 2019 vintage.
Now, the 2022 release keeps the momentum going awarded 89 points and a Bronze Medal at the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards, a huge achievement for such a small-scale operation. This vintage delivers classic Heathcote character: dark plum, blackberry and black cherry fruit layered with licorice, pepper, and savoury spice, all carried on a firm yet silky tannin structure. Aged with care and crafted with minimal intervention, it’s a wine that showcases the unique terroir and the passion behind every bottle.
If you love big Heathcote Shiraz that still shows elegance and balance, this one is a no-brainer. It’s drinking beautifully now and will continue to evolve for years to come.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
