Description
Briar Ridge is a boutique winery and the largest holder of vineyards in Mount View, a well renowned viticultural area in the Hunter Valley.
Originally founded in 1972, many of our vines have been growing for 45 years, providing us with fruit of outstand- ing quality and distinct character thanks to Mount View’s unique location in an unmatched part of the Valley. The combination of soil, aspect and the microclimate are what make the difference – giving our wines delicious flavours and characters unlike any other.
Talented young Winemaker Alex Beckett (Sydney Royal Wine Scholarship recipient) and Consultant Winemaker Gwyn Olsen (Wine Australia ‘Future Leaders’ represen- tative and Gourmet Traveller WINE ‘Young Winemaker’ Medal recipient) are passionate about showcasing these regional qualities and giving Briar Ridge wines a strong sense of place. This is reflected in the numerous awards Briar Ridge has received on the wine show circuit and our highly regarded winery rating, awarded by James Halliday every year since 2010.
