The Brokenback Vineyard, Pokolbin, was planted in the 1970's by a visionary group led by the late, legendary, Len Evans, AO, OBE. Over the ensuing years the vines have produced premium wines under a variety of labels. In 2008 the vineyard then in two parts, was purchased privately and amalgamated.

Our Brokenback Semillon is harvested early to capture the crisp citrus flavours with delicate, refreshing acidity. The result is a light, elegant wine style displaying a wonderfully lifted lemon citrus bouquet with lingering lime fruit flavours adding great length to the wine.

Cellaring: Vibrant and lively whilst young or will gain rewarding complexity with medium term cellaring 2 – 10 years. 

The Leogate estate tradition of bringing grapes into the winery from districts external to the Hunter Valley has continued in 2018 for the winemaking of "The Gatecrasher" series. This wine is made from grapes grown on our own Certified Organic Vineyard located int he Central Ranges of New South Wales.

This Cabernet Sauvignon displays delightfully rounded flavours of blackberry and blackcurrants that are well balanced by fine grained tannins. The gentle French oak maturation complements the varietal characters of the wine whilst adding structure and length of flavour. This lovely fruit rich wine can best accompany beef, game and cheese.

Cellaring: Excellent drinking now or medium term cellaring 2 - 10 years will be rewarded.
