THE WINERY
Quilty Wines hand-pluck the best possible grapes from the most interesting parcels of land in the Mudgee District to produce small batches of consistently super-premium quality single vineyard red wines full of flavour, complexity, personality. A sense of place.
Albeit only over a brief six vintage history, Quilty has already achieved a number of accolades including; Best Cabernet in NSW/ACT (2013 NSW Wine Awards); 5 Star Winery Rating in the James Halliday (2013 Wine Companion); Top 5 Finalist in the Winestate Wine of the Year (Aust&NZ); 2011 – Cabernet & Blends, Best Wine in Show (Mudgee 2014).
Certainly in quality terms they are gaining a reputation for producing amongst the very best reds in NSW, and some noted wine judges, including the likes of James Halliday and Huon Hooke, are taking notice.
