With its first vine being planted in 1974, Wild Duck Creek Estate has a long and rich history of winemaking within Heathcote’s famous red soils. Established by David Anderson, Wild Duck Creek Estate planted its Original Shiraz Vineyard back in 1988. Today, this vineyard is the site of the main winery, with its first commercial vintage made in 1991.

Specialising in shiraz, cabernet and rhone whites, Wild Duck Creek Estate has ten vineyards across the region from Colbinabbin in the north, to Mia Mia in the south. With a total of 115-acres of vines – sixty of which are owned and managed directly by the Andersons – Wild Duck Creek Estate can make up to fourteen different blends annually, depending on the viticultural conditions present.

Priding itself on making the very best wine for its customers, Wild Duck Creek Estate has a strong personal approach to its business. The founder, David, established the tradition of hand-delivering orders, something that is still often done to this day. The team at Wild Duck Creek Estate love seeing customers face to face, and ensuring they have a memorable tasting experience.

Wild Duck Creek Estate values its returning customers and produce a small selection of specialised wines, available exclusively for those who have an established relationship with the winery. These wines are exceptional in quality and only available on allocation.

As a small, multi-generational and family-owned winery, Wild Duck Creek Estate is a rustic, intimate winery that places value on customer satisfaction and uniquely tasty wines. By creating delicious and full-flavoured wines, Wild Duck Creek Estate aspires to bring a smile to customers’ faces and ensure an unforgettable time is had by all.

The winemakers behind Wild Duck Creek Estate are constantly seeking ways to improve the wonderful winery. There is currently building underway for accommodation on two different sites close to the winery, to elevate the experience of tasting Wild Duck Creek Estate’s delectable wines into a sublime overnight experience, which should be ready for guests by 2023.
