Peter Drayton Wines produces a full range of Hunter Valley wines, including Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho and a range of fortified wines.

Our Winery
Peter Drayton Wines is situated on Hermitage Road, Pokolbin, in the lower Hunter Valley. Established in 2001 on the Ironbark Hill Estate, the focus is on growing and producing the Hunter Valley's signature varieties on-site. Semillon and Shiraz are the heart of the range, alongside Italian and Spanish alternatives under the Anomaly label and small-batch single-vineyard wines in the TJD range.
The cellar door is open Wednesday to Sunday at 694 Hermitage Road, Pokolbin.
The Range
The Wildstreak series of wines includes classic varieties, including our signature Semillon; picked early and bottled without oak to develop its trademark complexity over time. Shiraz is known as the Hunter's great red, with rich fruit characters and fine-grained tannins that reward patience.
The TJD range showcases small-batch wines from treasured old estate vines, whilst the Anomaly range explores Italian and Spanish varieties, including Sangiovese, Barbera, Vermentino, Fiano, and Graciano, grown right here in Pokolbin.
