We’re thrilled to have been shortlisted for Dark Horse W**ery of the Year in the 2027 Halliday W**e Companion Awards and even happier to retain our 5 Star W**ery rating.

It’s been a cracking year for our w**es, with a record number of w**es reviewed at 95 and most classed at great value. Different to w**e show judging, the Halliday tasters represent consumers, the people that step into cellar door or try our w**es at a restaurant.

Our 2024 Limited Release Shiraz was one of the standouts, described as “plush, ripe, dark fruit" with chocolate and spice, but with the vitality and structure to go the distance. We only made a small volume, so if you’re a fan of big, beautifully balanced Hunter Shiraz, this is one to tuck away… not for too long. 😉

For us, the best part of reviews like these is seeing the hard work of the growers, w**ery and cellar door teams recognised, and knowing there are Mercer w**es being opened and enjoyed all over the country.

If you haven’t visited us for a while, this might be your sign. Come and see what’s happening in the Hunter, meet the team and taste your way through the current releases.

Meet Gab, our sparkly Cellar Door Manager 🍷 It also happens to be her birthday today 🎂🥂 What an apt day to share a little bit more about her...

If you've visited us at cellar door, chances are you've already met Gab. She's the friendly face making sure everyone feels welcome, the glasses are full, and the good times keep rolling. She's also the one on the other end of the emails to our members!

⏳ How long have you been with Mercer W**es?
About two years now - and it's absolutely flown by!

🍷 What does a typical day at work look like for you?
No two days are the same. You might find me hosting tastings at cellar door, chatting with our lovely members over email, or hand-packing orders. Sometimes I even get to play Santa and deliver w**e personally!

❤️ What do you love most about working at Mercer W**es?
The short answer? The w**e (obviously!). The longer answer is that I'm proud to work for a company I genuinely believe in, run by people who actually value work-life balance. It makes every glass taste a little sweeter.

🍽 Favourite thing to do in the Hunter Valley?
Eat! If there's a cheese board or local menu nearby, I'm there. My favourites are EXP and Jimmy Joans.

🏡 If you're not at cellar door, where would we find you?
Either at the gym, in the pool, or most likely sharing a bottle of w**e with friends while all our kids run wild in the background.

🥂 What's your go-to Mercer w**e right now, and why?
The Limited Release Shiraz. It's the ultimate "winter red". It's moreish, subtle and lingering - absolute perfection on cooler evenings.

💡 Best piece of w**e advice you've ever been given?
Don't be afraid to break the rules. Experiment with food and w**e pairings - if you like how it tastes, it's a good pairing.

Happy birthday week, Gab! 🎉 Next time you're at cellar door, be sure to pop in and say hello (and maybe bring her a slice of cake) 🍷👋

The National W**e Show of Australia is the pinnacle of Australian w**e competitions, bringing together medal-winning w**es from regional and capital city shows across the country. Simply qualifying to enter is an honour in itself.

This year, every Mercer W**es entry received a medal. Our 2024 Tempranillo took Gold, and following its Trophy win at Royal Melbourne last year, it’s wonderful to see it continuing to perform on the national stage. But honestly… it’s our Chardonnay that blew us away.

Our 2024 Limited Release Chardonnay was awarded Top Gold, the highest-scoring young Chardonnay in Australia at this year’s show. This w**e has been a quiet favourite with our w**e club members and restaurant partners for a while now, and to see it recognised at this level is a tremendous achievement and a credit to the vineyard, the region, and our team.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Mercer W**es on this journey. Results like these reinforce our commitment to producing w**es of quality, character and regional expression and mean so much to us as small Hunter Valley producer.
