KEVIN SOBELS WINES
KEVIN SOBELS WINES

After learning the art of wine making in both Champagne and Germany, Carl Sobels migrated to South Australia with his family in 1847. There he assisted the early pioneers of the Barossa with their winemaking before establishing his own business in 1850. His son, also named Carl, moved to the Clare district - eventually buying the winery he built. For over y, 100 years, generations of the Sobels family made wine and built their successful wine company Quelltaler.
Like his ancestors, Kevin Sobels, along with his wife Margaret and son Jason, share the same love and dedication of the industry, operating their Hunter Valley winery which bears their family name. Their winery continues an unbroken Australian wine making tradition now over 150 years old. The pursuit of quality and individual style is the same today as it was in 1850.

WYNDHAM ESTATE
WYNDHAM ESTATE
For more than 170 years Wyndham Estate has set the benchmark for quality Australian wines, proudly wearing the title of "industry pioneer" responsible for launching Australian wines onto the world stage. English immigrant George Wyndham began this most important page in Australia's winemaking history in 1830 when he planted his first vineyard at Dalwood, along the banks of the Hunter River, in New South Wales.
Seven years later Dalwood Wines, as it was then known, released its first vintage to rave reviews and by the mid-1800s was exporting to England and India. George Wyndham led the way in promoting the fledging Australian wine industry, showing Dalwood Wines in the Great Expositions of Europe and the USA. The Hunter Valley wines quickly bagged a swag of international medals and in the process earned the Australian wine industry a reputation for high standards and exceptional quality.
To honour George Wyndham's memorable achievements, Dalwood Wines was renamed Wyndham Estate in 1970 - one hundred years after George Wyndham's death. Today Wyndham Estate is renowned for much more than its wines. The original Dalwood vineyard has become a favourite tourist destination in the Hunter Valley.
