Heathcote
Known for Shiraz with rich fruit, spice and fine tannins. We are drawn to its combination of depth and elegance.
SYNG / AUSTRALIAN WINE
A wine to love.
A story to share.
Distinctive wines from small Australian producers.
People, place and a new perspective for your table.
For restaurants and wine merchants in Japan
OUR APPROACH
Good wine starts
with people and place.
With our Melbourne-based partner, we seek out small Australian producers. We taste their wines, get to know their vineyards and listen to their stories—looking for bottles we would love to share in Japan.
01
Taste comes first.
From everyday bottles to wines for a special occasion, we look for character, balance and value.
02
Get to know the maker.
Why this vineyard? Why this approach? Conversations with producers help us understand what makes each wine distinctive.
03
Give people a story to share.
A family’s history, a vineyard’s character, a challenging vintage. We help merchants bring these stories to their customers.

STARTING IN VICTORIA
Two regions that inspired us.
Yarra Valley
A cool-climate home to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. A region we love for its finesse and diversity of styles.
Our search extends across Australia. What matters is wine we love, with a compelling connection to its people and place.
