big, bold statement from one of Heathcote’s most iconic small producers. Wild Duck Creek Estate has built a cult following for its unapologetically rich reds — and the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a standout, made only in the best years from their oldest, low-yielding vines.
The 2020 vintage is classic Wild Duck Creek: deep and powerful with layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum and blackberry fruit, hints of dark chocolate, cedar and a touch of minty freshness. Concentrated yet balanced, with plenty of firm tannins and fine acidity to keep all that fruit in check. Matured in top-quality oak to add extra structure and spice.
This is serious Heathcote Cabernet with the muscle to age for a decade or more, but you’ll struggle to resist its plush generosity now.

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).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
