Paynes Crossing label WINS bronze at NSW Print Awards 2011


Payne’s Crossing ~ "The bridge that dad built"

The motivation for this label came from the very first wine we produced out of Broke in the Hunter Valley. I was driving home talking to my Dad on the phone, saying I needed a name for my new wine. He quickly replied "where is it from" and I said Broke in the Hunter Valley. He then explained that in the 50s he had been contracted to build a bridge at Payne’s Crossing not far from Broke. Ironically I drove over the bridge shortly after that phone call, got out and walked around ...the name was born.

We have been successfully crafting this rare blend for seven years now and this is amongst our best. This clean, crisp dry white wine is abundant in citrus, melon and tropical characters and has a striking balance. The palate has some soft spice and lemon flavour leaving a crisp clean mouth feel. Our winemaker's mission is to always create a harmonious blend that allows the vivid flavours to be enjoyed by all. This harmony ensures the wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as a perfect match with Asian cuisine. Also delicious with chicken and seafood.
