Icon Lounge

Visit the Icon Lounge during Hunter Wine & Food Month in June and taste Penfolds 2004 Grange against flagship Hunter Shiraz from Brokenwood, Tyrrell's, McWilliams and Thomas Wines to name a few.

Settle in with a gourmet cheese plate, line-up a few glasses and see what all the hype is about.

Is Grange really the holy grail of  Australian wine or do our Hunter Icons give it a pretty good run....?

Naturally we're a little biased so we want you to be the judge - cast your vote in the Lounge and you could win a selection of six Icon Shiraz Wines  (Brokenwood Graveyard, McWilliams O'Shea, Thomas Kiss, De Iuliis Reserve, Capercaillie The Ghillie, Meerea Park Alexander Munroe) valued at over $500 !

The Icon Lounge is a showcase of Gold and Trophy winning wines from great names such as Brokenwood, Tyrrell’s, McWilliams, Pepper Tree, Thomas, Capercaillie and Meerea Park to name a few.

“This line-up is just amazing, we wanted an emphasis on show success, but also we wanted to demonstrate that the Hunter can go well beyond semillon and shiraz when it comes to high quality wine,” says Suzanne Little, winemaker and co-owner of the Icon Lounge. “Most of these wines are not available for tasting anywhere in the Hunter so to be able to taste them here in one relaxed location is a fantastic opportunity for visitors to our region.”

The Icon Lounge is filled with natural light and has views across the vineyards to the Brokenback Range. Visitors can relax with a cheese plate and enjoy the best of the Hunter.

The Icon Lounge utilises the world class Enomatic dispensing system to showcase the 16 red and 8 white wines. This Italian technology allows visitors to select at leisure their own wine and tasting volume. 30mL tastes range from $2 to $9 with 75 and 100mL tastes also available.

38 Trophies ~ 84 Gold Medals ~ 24 Wines ~ 18 Producers ~ 10 Varieties
