Lucy’s Run Vineyard, NSW  1274 Wine Country Drive, Lovedale NSW 2325
Lucy’s Run vineyard was planted in 1998 and is sited on the bottom slope of the property, adjacent to Black Creek, and our first vintage (produced by David Hook) was in 2002. With 9 acres (3.6ha) of vineyards we’re only small, but we’re punching way above our weight. We also count ourselves very fortunate to have three of Hunter wine country’s best-known winemakers working their magic to take our grapes to the bottle: David Hook, Mike De Iuliis and Nick Paterson. We take great pride in our award-winning Shiraz (two trophies, count ’em!), Merlot and Verdelho (including our luscious Sweet Sophie). We’re also home to Woof Woof wines, created to support PetRescue. We might be one of the smaller vineyards in wine country, but we pack a punch with our trio of well-known winemakers: David Hook, Mike De Iuliis and Nick Paterson.
