Here’s a little bit about how we got here.
Since 2010 the Yeates family has owned and worked hard to rejuvenate one of Mudgee's first-established vineyards, Mountain Blue.
Prior to this, it was owned by Rosemount and then Foster's (now Treasury Wine Estates). During their reign, the vineyard was used to produce one of Rosemount’s flagship wines, Mountain Blue. This wine had a bit of a cult following in its day, having earned a pool room full of medals and an impressive reputation along with it. Despite its success, the wine glut and financial concerns are thought to be the reasons why the vineyard hit the market… and their loss was our gain.
Read on for a little more on the vineyard - the history, our management approach plus a little background on our viticulturist (Sandy Yeates) and winemakers (Jacob Stein & Lisa Bray).
