Winery Review

Our Hunter Valley fruit is now safely in the winery, with reds happily fermenting away and the winery team preparing some of our whites to be put into barrel. We're seeing fantastic quality from the Hunter this year - yields are a little lighter, however the fruit is of exceptional quality with generous flavour. Our 'Alluvius' Single Vineyard Semillon is shaping up to be a standout from the 2023 Hunter Valley vintage.

We're now shifting our focus across to our other vineyards - Orange, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra - which will be keeping us on our toes with fruit ripening at an even pace across the three regions. We're starting in Orange with an early harvest of our grapes to be used for our 'Silenus' Sparkling, and will quickly be moving onto other varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir.

Hot conditions in Wrattonbully and Coonawarra are making for concentrated berries with rich colour and flavour. Crops are looking healthy and showing great potential for wines of depth and complexity; we're really excited for what the vintage is bringing us, with all four regions showing big potential.

Another new year brings another beautiful vintage!

Hope everyone is well rested over the Christmas / New Year break and already kicking goals for 2023, can’t believe it’s March already!! The Wine Club team have had a relaxing holiday (especially Shaz ) and back in the full swing of things in the wine club.

We have plenty happening here in the Hunter Valley with vintage so don’t forget to book our Harvest Lunches starting in May. The cellar door is full of wine enthusiasts giving 5-star reviews and our wine club’s busy planning another year of spectacular food and wine events which you will not want to miss.

We are kickstarting the event calendar off with our Luncheon held at the well renowned Sydney Harbour view restaurant ‘Sails at Lavender Bay’. An elegant degustation matched with some of our finest Limited Release and Single Vineyard wines. Contact the club today for your tickets before they sell out.

We look forward to catching up with you all soon at one of our events or be sure to book into a members tasting at the cellar door.

Wishing you all the best for the year ahead!
