KEVIN SOBELS WINES 5 Halls Rd, Pokolbin PH 4998-7766 Kevin Sobels Wines is a family owned business, producing 100% Hunter Valley Wines from locally grown grapes, and with Kevin, wife Margaret and son Jason playing a key role in the day-to-day running of the business from their unique and purpose built cellar door which is open 7 days a week. With Kevin being a 5th generation Australian winemaker, the Sobels family continues a long and unbroken wine making tradition in Australia which commenced when Carl August Sobels migrated to South Australia with his family in 1847 after learning the art of winemaking in both Champagne and Germany. Carl, history informs us, is recognised as having made the first wines in the Barossa Valley in 1848.
Like his ancestors, Kevin Sobels and wife Margaret share the same love and dedication of the wine making industry and the making of high quality and distinctive styles of wine which are made with the consumer in mind. The winery which can be considered small and modern, utilises a mix of both new and traditional methods to producing the high quality wines Kevin Sobels Wines is renowned for and which are not readily available in the retail sector . Kevin Sobels Wines has developed a strong following over the years and have also become affectionately known by visitors to the Hunter Valley as ‘’the winery with the big dog”. Archie, the St Bernard is always present to give visitors to the cellar door a warm welcome.
