Saltire Estate: https://www.saltireestate.com.au/

Saltire wines are born out of a passion and celebration of the Hunter Valley and it's connection to ancient Scotland. The ancient ensign stirs the blood, evokes pride and above all, commands a powerful allegiance. The original vines planted in the Hunter Valley were planted by proud Scot, James Busby in the early 1830s. Known as the father of Australian wine, Busby brought 500 cuttings from Europe to Australia and planted them in the Hunter region of Belford not far from Lovedale. It is from these vines that the majority of existing Hunter Valley vineyards were propagated. ​When the Leslie family purchased Saltire Estate in 2006 they chose to honour both Busby and their own Scottish heritage by naming it thus. The land was originally part of the much larger George Hunter Estate established by the Sydney restauranteur, Oliver Shaul in the 1970s but these days, our Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Merlot vines are all that remain of the 500 acre estate. 

Glandore Estate Wines: Glandore Wines - Hunter Valley

Glandore Estate Wines was established in 2005 after the procurement of the original Brokenback chardonnay vineyard on Broke Rd. From day one the aim of Glandore Estate wines has been to produce wines of great character, regionality and style from the traditional varieties known in the Hunter Valley. This has been achievable through the strict selection of some of the Hunter Valley’s most distinguished old vine vineyards. Thinking out side of the square we have also started to forge ahead with new and exciting varieties to the Hunter Valley such as our superb Tempranillo.
