Overview

Wild Duck Creek Estate, nestled in the picturesque Heathcote region of Victoria, Australia, is renowned for its meticulous winemaking and exceptional terroir. Established by David (aka ‘Duck’) and Diana Anderson in 1979, the estate is a family-run operation that prioritises sustainability and quality. Alan's Cabernet, named in honour of Duck's late father, showcases the best of what this boutique vineyard has to offer.

The 2016 vintage is a superb representation of the estate's commitment to excellence. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, each contributing to its rich complexity and depth. The vineyard's acidic soils with low fertility naturally limit yields, ensuring the concentration of flavours in each grape. The 2016 vintage experienced a relatively moderate summer with some heat spikes, contributing to the optimal ripeness and balance of the wine.
