Our Wine
Mineral-rich soils and a powerful sense of place
define Arenridge Wines.
Nestled beneath the Brokenback Range in the Hunter Valley, this single-vineyard Chardonnay is an elegant expression of site, season and meticulous craftsmanship.
Drawn exclusively from estate-grown single-vineyard fruit, the inaugural release embodies the style and intent behind Arenridge Wines: shaped by volcanic soils, careful viticulture and the character of the 2025 vintage.
Generous yet restrained, the wine balances texture, complexity, and precision in equal measure. White peach, citrus and subtle stone fruit are layered with finely integrated French oak, creating a Chardonnay of quiet confidence and lasting structure.
Drawn exclusively from estate-grown fruit and produced in limited quantities, this first release establishes the direction of Arenridge Wines: site-driven, patient and unmistakably connected to place.
Wine Style
Guided by acclaimed Hunter winemaker Steve Langham of Piggs Peake, Arenridge embraces an approach that favours precision
over production and patience over scale.
The result is a wine program defined not by quantity, but by character — wines that speak clearly of season, soil and provenance. Broke Fordwich has become increasingly recognised for Chardonnay styles defined by tension, minerality and natural balance rather than overt richness.
At Arenridge, the combination of volcanic soils, elevated vineyard aspects and long ripening conditions produces fruit with clarity, texture and strong natural acidity — allowing the vineyard to shape the wine with minimal intervention.
The wine program remains selective, flexible and exacting, releasing only what is worthy of the estate and the vintage. Scarcity is not manufactured. It is simply the result of prioritising quality above all else.
