Allandale
is a modern small to medium size winery situated in the Lower Hunter
Valley wine growing area just north of Sydney Australia.
The
winery was established in 1978 and over the time has built an enviable
reputation for premium quality varietal wines. Over the last few years
the winery has sourced grapes from the Mudgee area, the Hilltops region
(near Young, NSW), McLaren Vale and of course predominantly the Hunter
Valley.
The
winery is owned and operated by Wally and Judith Atallah who have
seen the winery develop from a small production sold through cellar
door to a winery with sales in all the eastern states and export markets
in 5 overseas countries.
Allandale
is managed by Bill Sneddon (a graduate in Oenology from Charles Sturt
University). Bill oversees marketing and sales operations and is the
winemaker for the winery.
