Peterson House<br />
Peterson House is a public company located at the very ‘gateway’ to the <strong>Hunter</strong><br />
Valley vineyards. The Company began in 1995, and now has about 450 individual<br />
shareholders who have an opportunity to participate in aspects of the wine industry<br />
not normally available to the public. Ian and Colin Peterson of Peterson Wines<br />
Proprietary Limited are both shareholders in the company.<br />
PETERSON HOUSE<br />
The Winery<br />
Peterson House has imported specialist champagne making equipment, in particular, the ‘disgorging’ machine, from<br />
France, and is the only <strong>Hunter</strong> Valley winery with such equipment. Peterson House offers their equipment and expertise to<br />
other winemakers throughout New South Wales, and produces sparkling wine and methode champenoise on their behalf.<br />
The Cellar Door<br />
Open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm, the Peterson House cellar building has been constructed partially underground<br />
to provide ideal conditions for wine maturation and storage. Above, the tasting area overlooks vineyards and formally<br />
landscaped gardens and a small lake. Peterson House is a unique; architect designed building that is an ideal venue for<br />
corporate or private functions.<br />
The Wines<br />
Peterson House has a range of traditional methode champenoise and exceptional sparkling wines, which are currently only<br />
available at the cellar door on Broke Road or mail order. The premium wines of Peterson House have been launched in<br />
Sydney, and have been made available at selected restaurants.<br />
The sparkling wines made by the Peterson House production manager, Mark Hollis, are big, rich and creamy in true, warm<br />
climate style. Classic examples are the award winning Pinot Chardonnay Meunier, and the Sparkling Chambourcin, which<br />
is a full-bodied red with big, soft overtones. We also produce a wonderful, dry and citrus fruit driven Semillon Pinot methode<br />
champenoise. As time passes Peterson House will see a bigger range of distinctive sparkling wines.<br />
Peterson House offers a membership to customers who have a special interest in wines and wish to be the first to sample<br />
new wines.<br />
