Abercorn 

It is said the great wines are made in the vineyard. If one is to believe this philosophy then it is equally true to say that Mother Nature is the chief winemaker at Abercorn and the mortal workers are merely catering to her whims.

Mudgee's climate does vary, like all other wine regions. No two are ever the same nor are the resultant wines.

• Abercorn's strong philosophy is that for most wines, the true test of quality is linked to age. A bottle of wine opened five, ten and sometimes more years after vintage, must be be showing strong maturity indicated by sound fruit and structure on the nose and palate. (Of course, there are exceptions - Sauvignon Blanc is designed as drink-now wine.) Thus, most Abercorn wines, while they may be enjoyed in the youth, are designed to age and become better wines in time.
