Rusty Mutt Wines are Hand made, hand plunged and basket pressed wines from McLaren Vale. They make Viognier, Shiraz, Tempranillo and Grenache blends.

Owner and Winemaker Scott Heidrich grew up in the Barossa Valley and studied Wine Science at Roseworthy College from 1989 to 1991.

This allows the wine to drink well on release and also provide rewards for patience in the cellar.
