OUR STORY
Galli Estate was the vision of Tuscan born Lorenzo Galli who came to Australia in the 1950’s. It was moving full circle for Lorenzo, whose family had made wine in Italy for generations.
Two vineyard sites were carefully selected, in the Heathcote and Sunbury wine regions of Victoria. Each was planted with grape varieties that ideally suited their individual soils and climate.
The rich red volcanic soils of Sunbury and the famous Cambrian soils of Heathcote were fundamental to Lorenzo’s dream. They are the key to wines that honestly reflect their origins and bring pleasure to those that share them.
Galli adopts principles of organinc viticulture through the use of fertigation, natural fertilisers & minimal spraying across both our vineyards. This together with our utilisation of 100% recycled water for the Sunbury vineyard reinforces our commitment to sustainable vineyard practices.
These practices are also carried out in the winery with a more minimal approach to the winemaking through the adaptation of traditional methods focused on the use of indigenous yeasts. We also practice racking on the new moon & minimal filtration for our small batch bespoke clonal selection of Premium & Riserva wines.
Galli Estate Winery boasts an impressive Cellar Door & Restaurant complex. The striking steel arched building offers sweeping views over the vines, and is home to one of the best restaurants in the area.
The intimate Cellar Door presents the ideal opportunity to taste the impressive range of Galli Estate wines. The friendly knowledgeable staff will be pleased to advise you on your wine choices.

From the ‘home’ vineyard of three hectares, planted next to the winery, and including around 5% Cabernet Franc that is co-planted and co-fermented with the Shiraz. Powerful, savoury aromas of red berries, undergrowth, cassis, minerals and spice. The wine has a wonderful balance between ripe sweetness and savoury, with firm tannins and fresh acidity balancing the complex fruit flavours nicely. Very good depth and complexity, with a long finish. This wine is approachable now, yet will improve with a few years in the cellar. More savoury and undergrowth-driven than it’s ‘Georgia’s’ sibling. 94+ points, drink 2020-2028. (August 2019).

Paul Orsicka Shiraz 2018 Heathcote VictoriaPaul Orsicka Shiraz 2018 Established in 1955 by former Czech vigneron Paul Osicka, this is Heathcote’s oldest producer, 2020 marking the 65th anniversary of the planting of the vineyard. Today, grandson Simon tends the 10 hectares of Shiraz vineyard producing a rich, highly revered Shiraz that always disappears quickly off the shelves. Fruit grown on different soil types was picked and fermented separately in small open top pots. With extended time on skins the wine was pressed and then matured in French Oak for 14 months, including 20% new oak.
Brimming with rich juicy fruit and possessing a charming freshness this is yet another marvellous Heathcote Shiraz from Paul Osicka.
Dense inky black core with a deep dark purple hue. Captivating aromatics of freshly crushed blackberry, dark plum and liquorice tinged by a faint whiff of violets enchant the olfactory senses. Hints of blueberry, vanillin cedar and pepper then chime in. Rich, juicy and concentrated yet also possessing a charming freshness, the palate is awash with lavish blackberry, dark plum, liquorice and subtle blueberry fruits which show terrific carry and drive. Vanillin cedar, faint notions of earth and pepper are also present on the powerful finish. Silky yet structural tannins with a long opulent blue and black fruited aftertaste.
