A Heathcote vineyard is offering established winemakers or ambitious beginners the chance to expand into the region's acclaimed winemaking industry.
The 30-acre vineyard produces over 40 tonnes of fruit per year, said Todd Property principal Brad Todd.
"It's not something that a mum and dad could dip their toe into," Mr Todd said.
"It's an ongoing concern and you're hitting the ground running with quite a lot of product."
First planted in 1993, the vineyard was the birthplace of Melbourne restauranteur Peter Bartholomew's Wanted Man label.
Although predominantly planted with the shiraz grape Heathcote is known for, the property offers the opportunity to diversify with a variety of Viognier, Marsanne, Grenache, Roussanne, and Mataro vines.
Good opportunity for expanding labels
Mr Todd said the property would be a good fit for winemakers looking to expand into the Heathcote wine region.
"It's a matter of finding the right person that wants to either enter the wine industry in a big way or add to a current holding that they have," Mr Todd said.
"It would work well for an established label that might be in the Yarra Valley or over in South Australia, but they want a Heathcote range."
The property includes a 20 megalitre irrigation dam with a computerised irrigation system, a 12 metre by 6 metre shed and kangaroo boundary fencing.
