Around Hermitage you will find some of the most awarded hand crafted Hunter Valley wines. You’ll enjoy wines that are only available at the cellar door where you will likely meet the owners or winemaker who would love to chat about the latest vintage and their new release wines. Around Hermitage Hunter Valley is synonymous with the grape varieties of Semillon and Shiraz, but you’ll also find varieties not often seen in the Hunter. Come and try some Hunter Valley Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Verdelho and some of the best Riesling in Australia, all locally grown.

For something different try some locally made beers, vodkas and gins.

Visit our Hunter Valley wineries next time you’re Around Hermitage.

Biography

A family owned enterprise. Thomas and Jean planted the vineyard on September 11, 2001, opening the Cellar Door in September 2013.

The DEGEN’s Cellar Door and luxury Vine Stay is a fresh addition to the Hunter’s prized Single Vineyard offerings and provides a personalised approach to cellar door hospitality and vineyard stays on our 54 acre property here in Pokolbin.

DEGEN (pronounced D-EE-GEN) our surname and is German in origin, meaning fencing sabre or sword and is depicted across our branding by an antique block print of a man in the lunge position, fencing with his sabre. The lunge position is a “balanced” position, highlighting our philosophy of balance in vineyard management to produce well-balanced premium quality grapes for fine wine.

As the smallest commercial vineyard in the Lower Hunter, the DEGEN’s grow Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon and produce Hunter Valley single vineyard wine in collaboration with leading Hunter Valley winemakers.

“Everything we do is on a small scale. We want to be great at being small”, Tom & Jean Degen
