Australia Wine New South Wales Wines and Vineyards Abercorn Working as a journalist in the Canberra Press Gallery is enough to drive anyone mad but rather than move onto another bureau, Tim Stevens, and his young bride Connie, upped and left knowing exactly what they were going to do. They were going to buy a vineyard in Mudgee simply "because Mudgee makes the best reds". Allandale is a modern small to medium size winery situated in the Lower Hunter Valley wine growing area just north of Sydney Australia. Established in 1978 and over the time has built an enviable reputation for premium quality varietal wines. Over the last few years the winery has sourced grapes from the Mudgee area, the Hilltops region (near Young, NSW), McLaren Vale and of course predominantly the Hunter Valley. Bidgeebong's wines are made from grapes grown on the South West Slopes of NSW - an area emerging as the source of some of Australia's most interesting and exciting premium and super-premium wines. The 'Bidgeebong Triangle' encompasses three distinct districts: Tumbarumba, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains; the Hilltops district, centred on the town of Young; and the Murrumbidgee plain around Gundagai, on the Hume Highway, about half way between Sydney and Melbourne. Bloodwood Estate is synonymous with quality wine and food of the rapidly emerging Orange Region. We (that is Rhonda and Stephen Doyle) planted the pioneering wine grape vineyard of the area in the Spring of 1983. Although there had been no previous experience with commercial wine grapes in the district, these first Merlot Noir vines we planted thrived in the warm, free draining gravels of Bloodwood and the first vintage yielding 650 litres of exciting varietal essence duly followed in April 1986. Botobolar's 22-hectare vineyard established in 1971 is Australia's oldest organic vineyard, the vines have always been grown organically without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Growing grape vines organically in balance with the environment, not demanding too much from them or the soil, hand picking and pruning, and creating handmade wines all combine to deliver to you, good value premium organic wines.

Established in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has evolved from a weekend venture for self-professed hobby winemakers into one of Australia's most reputable wine labels. Brokenwood was founded by a trio of Sydney-based solicitors -- Tony Albert, John Beeston and James Halliday -- who paid a then record price of $970 per acre for a 10-acre block in the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges. Canonbah Bridge wines and Rams Leap wines are produced in New South Wales, Australia by the John R. McLaughlin Family. Robust Australian red wines include a shiraz and a Shiraz/Grenache/Mourvedre blend. Elegant white wines include a Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc and a Methode Champenoise sparkling wine (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meuniere). Capercaillie Wine Company was established in the Hunter Valley by Alasdair and Trish Sutherland in late 1995 when they built a small modern winery on an excellent 20 year old vineyard. Alasdair is a Scot, and his heritage is reflected in the very name 'Capercaillie'. It is the Gaelic name given to the black woodlands grouse, native to the pine forests of Scotland. The Casella family has been making wine since 1820 - first in Italy and since 1965 in Australia as Casella Carramar Estate. Filippo and Maria Casella emigrated to Australia from Italy in the 1950's bringing with them their hopes and dreams and the know-how acquired through three generations of grape-growing and winemaking in Italy. Situated on the Pacific Highway just south of Port Macquarie on the New South Wales mid-north coast, Cassegrain Wines is a wonderful place to visit for a taste of tradition. The Chalkers Crossing vineyard and winery are in Young in the Hilltops Region of New South Wales, about 150 km north-west of Canberra and 200 km south-west of Sydney. We planted our first vines in late-1997 and made our first wines in March 2000. Small, family winery dedicated to making distinctive, handcrafted wines Clonakilla 's wines are made in limited quantities and can be a little hard to find. They are worth the search.

Our flagship is a Shiraz Viognier blend. A boutique family vineyard Constable Estate Vineyards is located at Pokolbin, in the heart of the Lower Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia.
