$450.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

A collaboration between Andrew Margan of the Hunter Valley and Ado Huesgen of the Mosel. Aiming to make an almost dry style, inspired by the great GG wines of the region. Ripe fruit with a wonderful strength of natural acidity.

“In 1991 when I was a young wine maker at Tyrrells here in the Hunter Valley I had the pleasure of working with a young German, Ado Huesgen, who had come to do the vintage. He was from an eighth generation wine making family based in the revered Mosel wine region. We stayed in touch over the decades and then in 2018 Lisa and I along with our children visited him and his family in Germany as part of a tour of European wine regions. Over a long lunch overlooking the famous Mosel River where Ado and his family live we decided we needed to make a wine together! So the next year Lisa and I headed back over and helped him hand harvest a small parcel of his distinguished Trabener Wurgarten vineyard. I headed into the winery and got the fermentation started. Ados’ viticultural expertise and my winemaking resulted in the first Huesgen & Margan Riesling. Here is the third one which Ollie helped us pick and make in Ados’ winery in the beautiful village of Traben-Trabach.”

About Margan Wines

We established our business, Margan in 1996 in the picturesque village of Broke, Hunter Valley which is Australia’s oldest wine region. All Margan wines are Estate Grown and made as well as certified Sustainably Farmed. Margan has been rated a five-star winery (James Halliday Wine Companion) since 2009, twice winner of the Hunter Valley Cellar Door of the Year, Viticulturist of the Year winner and NSW Tourism Hall of Fame winner in recognition of our cellar door, winery and restaurant.

We have 100 hectares of distinguished Margan vineyards, across two locations. These vineyards are planted to a mixture of 50-year-old traditional Hunter varieties and pioneering alternatives we have planted ourselves. Most of the vineyards are planted on the unique soil of the Fordwich Sill providing our wines with their special sense of place. We make all our wines onsite at our Broke based winery with annual production around 25,000 cases. You can try all our wines at our beautiful rammed earth cellar door where we have structured tastings, including new releases as well as aged and museum wines.

Margan Restaurant offers acclaimed agri-dining and is regionally awarded for its focus on estate grown produce. We planted our Kitchen Garden in 2007 and this has expanded to now be more than a hectare. Over the years we have added an orchard, olive groves, estate reared lambs, bees, and free-range chickens. Our menus are created around what we harvest from our property to maintain a truly local and seasonal focus. Margan Restaurant has been consistently awarded One-hat in the Good Food Guide and is recommended regional dining in the Gourmet Traveller Best Australian Restaurants guide. The restaurant is also a four-time winner at the Australian Tourism Awards for excellence In Food Tourism.

So, food and wine are what we love to do here!

We are also proud to be regarded as leaders in environmental stewardship and are fully accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and Freshcare. We were one of the first in the Hunter to achieve this and our certification benchmarks to the ISO14000 series (International Standards) for best practice. This means we follow a detailed Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to reduce our impact across all business operations in the four basic pillars of sustainability – reduction of greenhouse gases, energy efficiency, water management and the reduction of waste.
