Echo Ridge Wines, NSW Lot 1 Oakey Creek Rd, Pokolbin NSW 2320
Echo Ridge is a family owned limited release vineyard estate specialising in premium quality wines that capture the pure, distinctive flavours of the prestigious Hunter Valley region. In a short time, Echo Ridge has developed a reputation for producing fine quality award winning wines from the classic Hunter varieties of Shiraz, Semillon, Verdelho and Chardonnay. Our picturesque vineyard and cellar door are nestled between the scenic fields and striking ranges of the lower Hunter Valley - a historically important and world leading wine region known for its full bodied Semillon and complex Shiraz. Hot, humid summers and cool winters combine with a rich mix of soils to create the perfect conditions for fruit that produce exquisite and quintessentially Hunter region varietal flavours. At the winery, we use boutique winemaking methods throughout harvest, press and fermentation to craft our wines by hand. Each vineyard lot is kept separate, so we can really capture the essence of each vineyard site.
