Producer Information

Wild Duck Creek Estate is a family-run winery in Heathcote, near Melbourne, Australia. It was started by David and Diana Anderson in 1972 when the young couple purchase their first block of vineyards. Their first commercial vintage was 1991. Today the winery owns 34 acres of vineyards and Wild Duck makes six wines, which are Shiraz, Shiraz blends, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Viognier. Son Liam Anderson has also joined the family business. Robert M. Parker Jr. writes that David Anderson is the resident guru here. Most would agree that these are the finest and most distinctive wines coming out of Heathcote. Wild Duck Creek Estate is something of a cult wine producer in Australia and its wines generally earn excellent reviews.
