Eppalock Ridge Winery

Eppalock Ridge is a small family owned wine business producing remarkable wines in Australia's premier Shiraz region, Heathcote.

After starting his winemaking apprenticeship at D'Arenburg Winery, Rod Hourigan worked vintages at Pirramimma and Coriole, gaining invaluable hands on experience. Eppalock Ridge produced its first wines in 1979. A reputation for producing fine wines with great intensity was soon established. The first vintage resulted in immediate success with a gold medal awarded at the 1980 Royal Melbourne Wine Show.

Since the 1980's Eppalock Ridge has gathered an extensive list of awards both nationally and internationally. The 2003 Shiraz collected a gold medal in the 2006 International Wine Challenge in London, a gold medal in Concours des Vin du Victoria 2005 in Melbourne as well as a silver medal in the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London.
