Tellurian is a family-owned wine business located in Heathcote, Victoria. It was founded by Ian Hopkins with a passion for creating wines of intensity, finesse and personality, especially the Heathcote Shiraz. The word Tellurian, meaning ‘of the earth’, refers to Heathcote's famed red Cambrian soils and a sense of connection between the winery and the ancient Australian land. Blessed with these 550 million-year-old Cambrian soils, Tellurian vineyards home the plantings of Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Marsanne, Viognier, Fiano and Nero d’avola. The winery launched its first vintages crafted by winemaker Tobias Ansted in 2007 and 2008 at Balgownie. The wines produced from these grapes express a wonderfully natural varietal flavour, perfect for varied cuisines.
