Making Superb Wine

The varieties that are currently produced under the Whispering Brook label are Shiraz, Semillon, Merlot and Chardonnay.

The reds are open fermented, with gentle cap management to extract colour and fine tannins from the grape skins. After the completion of primary fermentation, the wine is transferred to new and aged French oak barriques and hogsheads to undergo malolactic fermentation and ageing.

With an emphasis on wine science and art - learned by undertaking vintages in Bordeaux and the Hunter Valley and by working with winemakers in the Hunter Valley- our wine is hand crafted, with attention to detail to produce complex, fine quality boutique wines.

Our Semillon is vinified in stainless steel tanks with efficient cooling to preserve the delicate fruit bouquet and flavours and is bottled as soon as possible to age in the bottle. A portion of our Chardonnay is barrel fermented and matured in French oak to add complexity and depth of flavour.
