In the Vineyard
A very welcome return of this single-site wine in 2025, after the crop was unfortunately decimated by wingless grasshoppers in 2024.
We yielded just over three tonnes of hand-picked fruit from our allocated rows, which has resulted in a relatively small production of only 138 dozen.
In the Winery
This vineyard, situated on a sandy/loam strip along Oakey Creek Road, Pokolbin (hence, The O.C.), was planted in 1998. Earlier vintages of this wine were made in a riper more generously flavoured, contemporary style, however we have since realised this particular vineyard is more suited to a classically shaped Hunter Valley Semillon.
