Heartbreak Hill comes from a vineyard off the beaten track in tough growing country, high up in the north eastern corner of the Clare Valley region.
Made in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, the vineyard always ripened early despite its elevation. Displaying the elegance and lively aromatics of Clare, with a powerful accent and mineral tannins.
At the top of this steep hill, stands a proud Australian flag raised on the flagpole, which adorns the Heartbreak Hill label. MT knew this site offered something very special from the moment he was first shown the vineyard and needed to secure this fruit. Grower and friends the Hughes family didn’t make it easy for him though, with negotiations going back and forth over a few years, hence its namesake.
