In 2000 we set up a company named after the local watercourse which flows at our southern and eastern boundaries and Toms Waterhole Wines was born. Along the way we applied for a cellar door license, dramatically expanded the machinery shed to a fully functional winery and acquired the modern equipment necessary to produce high quality wine. Toms Waterhole Wines now crushes over fifty tonnes of grapes, approximately 50/50 red and white.

Much of the wine we make is made under contract to other growers in the district.

Our own labeled wine is made almost entirely from Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Semillon grapes grown on our vineyard. Most of the grapes for out premium wines are handpicked.

Other small parcels of grapes are purchased from carefully selected growers in the Canowindra district. The winery is certified as organic by Australian Certified Organic, processor number 10153P, so that if the appropriate grapes are available we can produce organically certified wine. Wines under the Toms Waterhole label are not organically certified as the vineyard has yet to reach organic standards.

Random Pick Products


 
2007 Shiraz

2007 Shiraz

Dark red with an intense aroma of white pepper, dark berries and milk chocolate. It has an intense fruit sweetness with soft gentle tannins.

 
 
The Waterhole Blend Cabernet Shiraz Merlot

Waterhole Blend11R Cabernet Shiraz Merlot

This is a softer style of red. A of blend of Shiraz from 2006 and 2007 and Cabernet and Merlot from 2007. At present it shows typical Shiraz plum pudding characters.

 
 
Organic Soft Shiraz

Organic Soft Shiraz

This is a very smooth slightly sweeter style of shiraz that will suit the non red wine drinker.
We recommend to serve it chilled.

 
 
2010 Shiraz Rose

Rose

A shining pink, perhaps just a fraction darker than 2009 but you'd only notice if you looked at them side by side. The aroma is intense, rose petals and strawberries and the wine starts sweet like 2009 and finishes citrus dry but unlike 2009 with a touch of green apple and, we think a slightly more intense and lingering after-taste.

 
 
2008 Toms Waterhole Chardonnay

2008 Toms Waterhole Chardonnay

This wine was made from local Canowindra organically grown fruit. The taste shows intense sweet fruit on the front of the tongue but finishes dry in the back of the mouth.

 
 
2008 Toms Waterhole Semillon

2008 Semillon

The palate is classic semillon with crisp citrus with apple and flint undertones.
