Hope Estate

Hope Estate in Hunter Valley, Hunter Region, Australia | Winery

Welcome to Hope Estate in Hunter Valley, Australia.
In 1994 I gave up pharmacy to do something I loved, to make wine.
Since then Hope Estate has become one of the Hunter Valley?s most successful family owned estate grown wineries.
Every bottle that comes out of our Winery at Hope Estate, with the Hope name on the label, is not only the best it can possibly be, but it's also something we are immensely proud of.
Hope Estate was established in 1994 when Michael Hope gave up his pharmacy career to do something he loved, to make wine. Together with his wife Karen they purchased their first vineyard at Broke in the Hunter Valley,consisting of 30 acres of vines on a 250 acre property. The quality of fruit produced from these vineyards was exceptional and the potential of the area was further realised with more vines being planted. Being ideally suited to whites this was then followed up with a second purchase being 200 acres of the famed red basalt soil at Fordwich. This has since been planted with 100 acres of Shiraz and Merlot.
Hope Estate, adjoining the new Fordwich vineyard, was purchased in 1996 and occupies the site of the former Saxonvale Winery which lay dormant for a number of years. Renamed the Hill of Hope, after years of standing as en empty shell, the Winery once again became operational after having been refitted for his first vintage of Hope Estate in 1997.
Wine from our three vineyards in the Hunter (NSW), Donnybrook (Western Australia) and Kyneton (Victoria) are made at our new Hunter site.
We are dedicated to making great wines. I get involved with everything about the making of Hope Estate wines. The wines are my passion & hopefully you'll enjoy drinking them as much as I enjoy making them.
