Shiraz is a signature of the Mudgee region, but few wineries ferment theirs in a 600-litre clay amphorae underground. At Lowe Family Wine Co – the organic and biodynamic estate run by David Lowe and Kim Currie, also behind Zin Food + Wine House and Althea by Zin – shiraz is championed in every form, from a classic French oak-aged expression to preservative-free and amphora versions, alongside a sparkling shiraz and even a port-style fortified.
The broader range ventures further afield, with wines such as a coral-pink Zinfandel rosé and new regional Italian whites including arneis and aleatico. Visitors can book a tasting of eight wines at the cellar door before heading next door to Zin Food + Wine House for lunch. There’s also a small food store for provisions, or pre-order a picnic hamper to enjoy on the lawn.
