Buckshot The Square Peg Heathcote Shiraz 2002

Buckshot is owned and operated by Meegan and Rob Peebles. Rob has been involved in the wine industry since 1992 and is currently working with Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley. The first vintage of 115 cases was made in 1999, and it is their intention that this was the first in a long time of great vintages for Buckshot.

The Heathcote region is renown for producing some of the best country's best Shiraz. Despite this, only a handful of wineries exist in this region. This is due primarily to the lack of suitable land with water. Having said that, the few that do exist (like Buckshot), have been recognized worldwide for their quality which is so dependent on Heathcotes's soils, climate, and age of vineyards.
