Thistle Hill
Vineyard is an intimate family-owned winery nestled in a beautiful
valley just 10 kilometres from Mudgee. It owes its heritage to its
original vigneron, David Robertson, a pioneer of organic
viticulture.
His vision of
balance between the production of award winning wines with
sustainable agriculture is still upheld by his wife Lesley and two
daughters, Lucy and Sally, all energetic enthusiasts and
passionate lovers of wine. The Robertsons are strong advocates for
sustainable farming and use no insecticides, herbicides,
weedicides or synthetic fertilisers in the 27-acre vineyard. As a
result, Thistle Hill has been classified as organic by
NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture
Australia).
Thistle Hill produces on
average 50,000 bottles of quality and award winning wines a year,
exporting about 15% of their production to Europe, Asia and
Canada. A major reason for their burgeoning export success stems
from the fact that their totally organic approach sits well with
European and Asian markets, because of its clean image.
