Our Philosophy

Minimal Intervention, Vegan Friendly

We believe great wines are created in the vineyard. Through year round hard work and vigilant hands on viticultural practices, we strive to deliver exceptional estate grown fruit to the winery and only source fruit from the best regional vineyards with the same high standards. At Oakvale we recognise that winemaking is both an art and a science and that state-of-the-art- technology can work hand in hand with traditional winemaking practices.

In the vineyard and winery we implement a philosophy of minimal intervention, employing modern winemaking practices to showcase the true expression of our vineyards, free from unnecessary manipulation. What does this mean for you? Less preservatives, less inputs, vegan friendly wine. We seek to add complexity, richness and finesse to every bottle by adopting innovative winemaking techniques. Having shaped the history of wine in the Hunter Valley for nearly 120 years, we are confident that Oakvale will continue to deserve its place as a leading winery well into the future.
