Blackjack Wines crafts small batches of wine with unique character from its vineyard in Harcourt, Victoria. The winery is named for an American sailor who jumped ship during the 1850s Gold Rush, with a road adjacent to the vineyard still bearing his name. Its artisanal range includes full-bodied reds and crisp Rosé, with a focus on the robust reds of the Bendigo region such as the flagship Estate Bendigo Shiraz and Estate Bendigo Cabernet Merlot. The BlackJack Shiraz was first released in 1994 and won the trophy for Best Shiraz at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show in 1996 and again in 2006.

The winery operates a cellar door open on weekends and sells online with free shipping on orders over $250. It also runs a Wine Club for members.
