About Vinden Estate Wines

Vinden Wines was founded in 1990 and is now under the guidance of the second-generation winemaker and viticulturist Angus Vinden. Since taking over in 2015, Angus has maintained the original label which possesses a traditional Hunter style as well as producing his offshoot label allowing a more experimental approach ‘The Vinden Headcase’; balancing tradition with innovation. I believe it is my responsibility, just as O’shea did up on the old hill, to continually redefine and reinvent the Hunter Valley. Tradition is not stagnant; it should constantly be redefined as we learn from the previous generation. – Angus Vinden The two vineyard sites are the Vinden Estate and old vine blocks at Somerset Vineyard in Pokolbin, where Angus was mentored under the late, fifth-generation grower Glen Howard.
