Ernest Hill Wines

Ernest Hill Wines is a family run boutique winery located in the Hunter Valley in NSW, Australia – just a short drive North of Sydney.

We pride ourselves on our range of award winning, limited edition wines that we sell direct to the public Online, by mail order, and at our cellar door. Choose from our award winning range of varietals including Semillon, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Gewurztraminer, Rose, Merlot, Shiraz and our beautiful Dessert wines.

The philosophy at Ernest Hill is to produce PREMIUM estate grown Hunter Valley wines.  Our focus is to produce top quality wines and we achieve this by the following methods:  the majority of our grapes are hand picked to ensure only the best bunches go into the wine and our blocks are deliberately cropped low to ensure less bunches, but of better quality fruit.  We do not pick every block each year to keep our quality control.  This ensures blocks are only picked in years that we feel the fruit is of above average quality.  Otherwise it is either dropped on the ground or sold off to larger producers.  The best parcels of brand new oak are procured each year for our chardonnays and William Henry shiraz and our family named wines only use free-run pressings.  All these little steps we take, we hope add up to giving our wines better varietal character and most importantly flavour.
