We're a family owned, small-batch winery from Pokolbin, Hunter Valley. In 2006 we found a very special parcel of land for sale high up in the foothills of the Brokenback range - the Maluna vineyard. It was a wild and exciting place, planted to 50-year-old Chardonnay, Semillon and Syrah.
Tucked away in the undulating terra rossa hills along Marrowbone Road (Pokolbin), the vineyard homestead (& private tasting site!), affords our clientele amazing views across the small vineyard & scenic wine country. Alexy and Adam Elbourne’s aim after taking over the vineyard in 2009 is to produce high quality, low yield, award winning wines. We make only single vineyard wines ALL from low yield & handpicked Hunter Valley fruit, in an aim to keep the quality as high as possible & representative of the vintage. There is no blending or additions to the fruit harvested each year to make them truly seasonal Hunter Valley wines. Our flagship estate grown Chardonnay (2ha) and Shiraz (2ha) have now been joined (2018) by our “De Beyers” Verdelho & soon to be added Tempranillo & Rose (2019) varietals from neighbouring Hunter vineyards.

The Hunter Valley has a rich history of winemaking: there is something quite special about it. The combination of site, climate and soil impresses unique regional characters upon the wines produced there - what the French would call “terroir”. These regional characters distinguish Hunter Valley wines from their counterparts in other major wine producing regions and they are best seen in the varieties for which the Hunter Valley is renowned - Semillon, Chardonnay and Shiraz.
Unsurprisingly the vineyards at Midnight's Promise are planted to these varieties. The vineyard is managed with a combination of traditional and modern viticultural practices so as to maximise fruit quality rather than quantity. While it would be nice to say that the grapes are harvested by a team of local maidens harvesting is usually done by machine at night (often around midnight) so as to ensure that the grapes are cool and sound - a promising start to the winemaking process. The brand name of our wines - Midnight’s Promise - is an allusion to this practice. Each vintage small quantities of wine are produced under contract by our talented winemakers Bill Sneddon and Matt Burton for release under our Midnight’s Promise label.
