Lisa Margan - Margan Estate Wines - Stars of Newcastle 2016
Lisa moved to the Hunter Valley when she married winemaker Andrew Margan. In 1990, Lisa and Andrew set up home in Bordeaux, France and it was during these years that Lisa developed an appreciation for quality produce, technique and the unique appeal of dining in a premium wine region. Upon returning to the Hunter, Lisa completed a Masters Degree which led to work in public health (nutrition) until going on maternity leave and ‘giving Andrew a hand’ with his newly launched wine brand, Margan. In 2007, Margan celebrated its 10th anniversary with the opening of the Margan restaurant and tasting room at the winery and vineyard in Broke which gives visitors a unique food and wine experience. Today, Lisa and Andrew oversee a flourishing 35,000 case premium wine brand which is distributed throughout Australia and beyond. All grapes for the wine are Estate Grown and handcrafted on site and the restaurant offers a seasonally inspired menu based around whatever is being harvested on the estate at the time. Lisa’s background in organic food production and the ethos of the business ensure that Margan ‘treads lightly’ in terms of its carbon footprint. Margan is now fully accredited with the Green Table Program and Entwine Australia and among the most certified wine production businesses nationally. Margan has also received numerous accolades since it opened its doors including being crowned Winner of the Excellence in Food Tourism, Australian Tourism Awards 2014.

Wine Gallery - Semillon - Thomas Wines Broke-Fordwich Semillon 2016
Check out the Wine Gallery's chief wine officer, Banjo Harris Plane as he taste tests all our latest wine adventures.
Hunter Valley Semillon is an often overlooked style and variety, despite being recognised by wine critics across the globe as the greatest expression of Semillon in the world! It's a sad fact, but doesn't stop ambitious, quality-minded producers like Andrew Thomas striving every vintage to produce world-class wines. This comes from the Hunter Valley subregion of Broke-Fordwich, which sits on the western edge of the Hunter. Slightly warmer than other areas, and with slightly less rain, the wines from here are richer and have a slightly fuller fruit character. This example is perfect - summer fruit salad, some herbaceous tones and plenty of zip. Pure lemon-flavoured acidity to close it out. All in all, an excellent dry white wine from what is one of Australia's most famous grapes.

Vlog 070615 - Hunter Valley Tour @ Broke
Deuh Hello,
Here's a little video log about the Hunter region, revisiting them again after childhood.
Surprisingly, it was quite fun that now I can savour all the wines without adult supervision.
We only had 2 hours to scour around Broke so we decide to visit the McGuigan' & Lindeman'.
Would be awesome to plan an earlier tour next time for the lols again.
