Paul Osicka had the vision to establish vines in the parched sandy soils of Heathcote's easterm precincts during the 1950s. His closely husbanded vines are deliberately trained to very low yields, ensuring the berries are smaller and more intense in colour and flavour. Osicka adheres to strict organic principles, shunning the use of herbicides, insecticides or irrigation. A highly respected local identity, he retains access to the finest parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon in all Heathcote.
Paul Osicka is one of the longer established wine producers in Heathcote. Due to the close proximity of the Graytown Box Ironbark State forest, it is common to find all manner of native animals amongst the vines, including wallabies and kangaroos, emus, lizards and echidnas. Osicka himself is hands on throughout the entire experience, he personally selects the most lavish new oak to age his precious wines.
TASTING NOTES
Berry red colour. Currants and cassis, vanilla and cedar notes. Big, bold and beautiful, laden with intensely perfumed fruit flavours, bramblerry and dark currants sing, chewy, textural with hints of mineral and fragrant oak, a perfectly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon supported by a length of fine, terra rosa tannins.

More About Paul Osicka Winery
Paul Osicka is one of the longest established Heathcote estates, planting vines in the 1950s, when Heathcote as a winegrowing region was but a twinkle in the eyes
Grown without irrigation on sandly loam soil over quartz and red ironstone gravels, the vineyard is managed according to organic principles without the use of herbicides or insecticides. The vines are hand pruned to balance the yield and the grapes are hand picked to achieve optimum fruit quality. These factors combine to produce small intensely flavoured and coloured fruit necessary to make premium wines. The principal red wine produced is Shiraz followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
