McLeish Estate, in the heart of the Hunter Valley in Pokolbin, celebrates four decades as one of the region’s most awarded producers.
Our estate single vineyard produces wines of exceptional quality and varietal purity, highlighted by the McLeish Semillon — awarded the Trophy for Best International Semillon, NSW Best Semillon and recognised as one of Australia’s finest expressions of the varietal.
Founded in 1985 by Robert and Maryanne McLeish, the winery’s facilities and cellar door were established in 1995 and have since welcomed visitors to experience the estate’s wines at their source.
Today, the McLeish collection remains exclusive and limited, available primarily through our cellar door, to Wine Club Partners and a select number of outlets.
