Whispering Brook is set on a rare strip of terra rossa soil – a key ingredient behind this boutique wine brand established in the prestigious Hunter Valley, Australia.
Whispering Brook is located amongst the natural beauty of the Broke area, and is a boutique, family owned winemaking business developed by Susan Frazier and Adam Bell to turn a passion into reality – making premium wines. Red wines are produced from the highly prized terra rossa soils on the property – whilst the sandy loam soils located near the Wollombi Brook are ideal for producing premium white wines.
The Wollombi Brook borders one end of the property and is the inspiration for the name Whispering Brook, with its many whispering Casuarina trees lining the sand banks of the brook. Another feature of the property is the sweeping view of the spectacular mountains of the Hunter Valley which provide a panoramic backdrop to the vineyard and cellar door.
The cellar door tasting room and winery is located in a beautiful Australian style building which features wide sweeping verandahs surrounded by our vineyards, olive groves and stunning mountain views. Visitors can sample our wines and olive products at a custom made recycled Oregon and Sandstone bar or outside on the verandah overlooking our vineyards, olive groves and the Yengo and Wollemi National Parks. The cellar door tasting room has a soaring ceiling with exposed timber trusses. It also features four pairs of French doors, two pairs of lovingly restored windows and large custom built recycled Oregon entrance doors – with views across the vineyards, olive groves and the surrounding National Parks.
Tables and chairs are placed around the verandah so that you can sit and relax enjoying some wine, kalamata olives and olive oil from our tasting room. Or enjoy a relaxing picnic on the lawn overlooking the Wollemi National Park.
With an emphasis on wine science and art – learned by undertaking vintages in Bordeaux and the Hunter Valley and by working with winemakers in the Hunter Valley – Whispering Brook’s wine is hand crafted, with attention to detail to produce complex, fine quality boutique wines. The varieties which are currently produced under the Whispering Brook label are Shiraz, Semillon, Merlot and Chardonnay.
