Visit Adam's Leap Wines. The home of great wines and great experiences!!!
Adam’s Leap Wines is the realisation of a long-time dream. My journey, however, was not necessarily a direct or predictable route. It started in America as an in-house lawyer for a large global software company, followed on with a migration to Australia and a continuing career in the software industry, a return to study in medical school and then to clinical practice as a doctor.
After several years, I returned to the software industry, which eventually lead me to roles as a board director. But throughout my entire journey there was always wine! It began with a detour on a motorcycle ride in South Carolina, then explorations of vineyards in France, Italy, Spain, California and Australia, and eventually a dream of bringing Adam’s Leap Wines to life.
Through Adam’s Leap Wines I am able to make great wines and provide people with great experiences, which is the essence of the winery. I hope that you will share this dream with me by enjoying some of our wines with friends and family or having a great experience at our cellar door!!!
Drink
The Adam’s Leap Vineyard is a boutique 6 acre vineyard located on Hermitage Road in Pokolbin, which is in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine region of NSW, Australia. The Adam’s Leap vines are over 35 years old and consist of approximately 2 acres of Chardonnay, 3.5 acres of Shiraz and 0.5 acres of Viognier. The soil is red loam over a clay and limestone base, making it ideal for producing high quality fruit.
Varieties
Adam's Leap Wines produces the following wines. Wines are produced based upon the quality of the fruit and seasonal factors determined at each vintage:
--The Ludwig -- Chardonnay
--The Amiche -- Rose
--The Insolent Cavalier -- Shiraz
--The Ma Mere -- Shiraz/Viognier
--The Falstaff -- Fortified Shiraz
Style
Everything done at Adam's Leap Wines is designed to produce great wines and to provide great experiences. Great wines start with great grapes and great grapes come from great vines tended with care and challenged to grow. As a boutique producer, quality is paramount. Focus is placed on getting the best grapes from each vine, not the most grapes. Fruit is harvested by hand and sorted for quality control. In the winery an instinctive mix of art and science is used to produce creative, interesting and enjoyable wines. I strive to highlight the unique characteristics of the Hunter Valley and the Adam’s Leap Vineyard in every bottle of wine produced. Proven wine-making techniques are used for consistency, but with a creative edge to craft truly great and unique wines.
Tastings
Wine Tastings are available on Saturdays 10am - 4pm and Sundays 10am - 2pm and by appointment on other days.
The Adam's Leap Wine Tasting experience is a complementary curated journey through each of the Adam's Leap Wines and the story behind it.
