Kennedy

Discover the story behind Kennedy

Established by John and Patricia Kennedy in 2002, the Kennedy Vineyard is located on prime land along the east-facing slope of the Mount Camel Range, on Heathcote’s famed Cambrian soil. With over 20 acres of Shiraz plantings, work in the vineyard is focused on unraveling the intricate differences within the site. This is reflected in the winery by the site driven philosophy of winemaker Glenn Hayley. Small open fermenters, indigenous yeasts and gentle pigeage are used before being taken to French oak (20% new) for 12 months maturation prior to bottling.
