Our Region

ABOUT THE REGION

The Mudgee Wine Region is soil and soul, passion and perseverance.

With a viticultural history stretching back to 1858, Mudgee built itself on the much-loved Aussie styles of robust Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon along with rich, fruity & buttery Chardonnay.

These days, the region leads the way in offering a wide variety of fresh and modern styles. We’ve borrowed from the old world to create the ‘new’ Australian masters – Riesling, Barbera, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Vermentino and Pinot Grigio, just to name a few. We still craft amazing bold reds and those sought-after creamy Chardonnays, we’ve just added to the repertoire with a wide range of fresh styles.
