About Us

Briar Ridge has had a long history in the Hunter Valley.  The vineyards were planted in 1974 as the Squire vineyard in the ideally located Mount View Region of the Hunter Valley, NSW.  Murray Robson soon took over the vineyard until 1988 when the Davis family assumed ownership.  John Davis, geologist turned vigneron, recognising the potential of the site, set about to establish Briar Ridge as a leading producer of Hunter Valle iconic wines.

To date, Briar Ridge Vineyard boasts a staggering 23 Trophy-winning wines, along with 44 Australian and International Gold medals and countless Silver and Bronze medals.   In addition we have been rated 5 stars by James Halliday for 3 years running.

The philosophy of our wines is simple; “Produce leading world class wines from premium estate  vineyards.  Our fruit quality is enhanced through careful vineyard management including control of fruit yield.”

Our Cellar Door is located within the beautifully rustic Briar Ridge Vineyard building. Open 7 days from 10am to 5pm, the cellar door offers the winery’s full spectrum of wines for both tasting and purchase. Briar Ridge also operates a wine club, The Vintage Club. As a Vintage Club member you’ll receive three newsletters a year accompanying a wine pack, you’ll also be offered special discounts available only to club members.
