We take a look at the wines that have, and are still shaping the Mudgee wine region. These include historic wines no longer available.

There are others, such as wines made by James Manners that, in time, will no doubt join this list.

What wines are on your list?

We get it! Winter is a lovely time to bunker down in front of the fire and perhaps.. potentially.. possibly.. over indulge in your favourite dram or two. No judgement here!

But if you are looking to cut back a bit or go Dry for July we certainly salute you and can definitely help with some tasty non-alc alternatives.

WINNERS @ 19th ANNUAL YOUNG GUN OF WINE AWARDS.
Last week we celebrated with the finalists and the trophy winners at the 2025 Young Gun of Wine Awards.

RIKARD Wines has been awarded the Vigneron trophy - which goes to a winemaker who grows the grapes from which the wines come. “Great wine starts with great grapes,” said Young Gun founder Rory Kent. “No amount of winemaking technique can beat hard work in the vineyard.”

Will’s thoughts on accepting this award….

“Wow! What a humbling experience to be involved with the 2025 Young Gun of Wine,” Rikard-Bell said. “I loved being surrounded by so much creativity and enthusiasm and talent. Great people! The opportunity to connect with so many other like-minded, passionate wine people was awesome. So many common goals, common dreams, common problems … and a shared love of wine. Friends for life. If this gang is the future of the Aussie wine industry, then it’s in great hands! To then be recognised with the Vigneron award amongst this crowd is a real thrill.

Not just for me, or for my wife Kimberley, but especially for our small, dedicated team back in Orange. I can’t thank them enough. It’s a deserved reward for all their hard work – and a great reminder to stick to your guns and believe in the process of what you’re doing.
We’ll certainly use it as fuel now to keep striving for better, more sustainable vineyards and more delicious wine as a result!”
