Our passion is making beautiful wine grown Biodynamically to harvest the unique flavours of the Hunter Valley.
We started Macquariedale back in the early 1990’s as an escape out of the Sydney corporate world. Derice and I (Ross McDonald) started the dream with an acre or so of Shiraz and Chardonnay close to the Hunter River at Branxton. From those early steps a fully Certified Organic/Biodynamic vineyard has evolved at Sweetwater Rd, Rothbury, being in the Lower Hunter winegrowing region.
The vineyards now comprise of approximately 15ha which are home to outstanding Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho. We also have a small plot of Pinot Noir which is just coming into maturity. Derice, our children and I have immersed ourselves in country life and live sustainably producing garlic, olives and olive oil and beef cattle, as well as growing vegetables and many varieties of fruit.
Following our natural winemaking passion, our small sustainable winery specialises in converting small parcels of grapes into the most delicious natural wines available in Australia.
