Heslop Wines Their aim is to ‘tread lightly’, a philosophy of conservation and moderation. While teaching science, Bob began making w**e at Mansfield W**es.

Cellar Door of the Year 2023 and 2024 - Mudgee W**e Show Award
Family-owned vineyard and w**ery
Friday - Sunday 11am to 5pm + public holidays + mid-week by appointment
112 Craigmoor Road, Mudgee Bob and Julie Heslop’s small family-owned dryland vineyard in the heart of Mudgee’s premium w**e growing area produces, small batches of handcrafted, high quality w**es. Minimal intervention strategies are embraced in the vineyard and w**ery, such as hand picking, gentle crushing, hand plunging, and basket pressing through to the use of sustainable building materials. The straw bale warehouse and cellar door are under construction, and their producer wholesaler licence currently limits sales to mail, phone and internet orders. Bob began his w**emaking career at Kay Bros, SA while undertaking oenology studies at CSU Wagga Wagga. After returning to NSW, he completed a vintage in the Hunter Valley, and then the family moved to Mudgee where his wife, Julie, was born. They then purchased 50 acres and began planting a small vineyard with a range of grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao and Zinfandel. However, since his retirement from teaching, he is following his passion of making his own handcrafted, high quality w**es.

Recently Liam was invited to Melbourne to be in the tasting panel for the deep dive on Touriga Nacional with Young Gun of W**e. If you’ve never tasted this beautiful variety, we highly recommend you give it a go.

The work is never done in the vineyard 🍇 The current job is shoot thinning. It may seem counterintuitive to take off all these shoots, but it has several benefits.

It helps the vine concentrate its energy into the remaining shoots, giving us bigger, better-quality bunches. It also increases airflow and light in the canopy, which helps prevent disease. More sunlight also gives the fruit colour and flavour. All things we want!

These are our zinfandel bush vines. What looks like baby grapes now is the stage before flowering into berries. Liam is being a bit more ruthless with the zinfandel because they tend to have more shoots. We do shoot thinning for all the varieties, but the zinfandel is a bit special, so it will need bunch thinning later in the season as well. But that's a story for another day!

Recently Liam spent an evening in Forbes at the NSW Small W**emakers W**eshow presentation dinner. He was very happy to accept the James Kerr Memorial Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon, for our 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon.
We also won a silver medal for our 2023 Estate Shiraz and a bronze for our 2023 Touriga Nacional. This was the first time we've entered this show in a while and we're thrilled with the results.
Thank you to the w**e show organisers and sponsors, and congratulations to the other winners. It was great to see some other Mudgee faces accepting awards on the night as well!

Here we all are being presented with the trophy for Best Small Producer at the 2026 Mudgee W**e Show.

There is an irony in receiving this award. As Liam likes to say, some people's 'small batch' is our entire production. But perhaps being small is our super power 💪

A great moment - winning the trophy for the Most Outstanding Red W**e of Show at the 2026 Mudgee W**e Show for our 2023 Touriga Nacional.

We realised we also won this trophy 13 years ago for Bob's 2011 Touriga Nacional, the first vintage under the Heslop W**es label, then again in 2016, also for our Touriga Nacional. It really is a special w**e for us!

We are passionate about Mudgee w**es, particularly reds, and there are a lot of great Mudgee reds out there. This is a real honour for us.
