Vintage
The 2021 vintage is regarded as a classic Hunter Valley vintage, the vines were in healthy condition with plenty of foliage. A cooler and drier than average January after excellent December rainfall combined to deliver ideal ripening conditions, with grapes showing flavours of great freshness and intensity. Good vineyard management and winemaking has resulted in some of the best wines we've made, with the white wines in particular having great intensity of flavors.

Winery
Audrey Wilkinson is one of the most historic and beautiful properties in the Hunter Valley, known for its stunning views and pristine vineyards. It was, in fact, the first vineyard planted in Pokolbin, in 1866. The property was acquired in 2004 by the late Brian Agnew and has been owned and operated by his family since. The wines, made predominantly from estate-grown grapes, are released in three tiers: Audrey Wilkinson Series, Winemakers Selection and Reserve, the latter only available from the cellar door. Exports to the US, Canada, UK, Finland and Czech Republic.
What were his parents thinking? Yet aged only 15 years, with his father having died, Audrey assumed the daunting role of running the family's vineyard. Audrey was blessed with a wonderful sense of taste, and produced some of the finest wines in Australia.
He left this lasting legacy: "It's all about the wine."
