About Us

Monahan Estate Vineyard

Monahan Estate has one aim. That is to produce award-winning wines for health conscious wine consumers.

Monahan is located in the peaceful and picturesque Lovedale region of the Hunter Valley. We grow premium Semillon, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Merlot grapes. Our logo represents the historic Gillies Bridge that borders our vineyard. The vineyard is owned by Tracey Cooper (Vigneron, M.Mgmt) and Frank Cooper (B.Sc Compl Medicine). The vineyard was purchased from the original founders Trish and John Graham who established this superb 15 acre  vineyard in 1996.

The vineyard soil is one of the most fertile in the Hunter Valley and capable of producing outstanding wines without the use of fertilizers. This extraordinary soil is estimated to be 15 metres deep and likened to some of the great French wine-making regions. The vineyard is carefully maintained and we utilize organic farming principals wherever possible. Monahan Estate uses traditional wine-making techniques and we avoid unnecessary chemicals.

Our Cellar Door is located on our Vineyard where visitors can sample our wines. For those wine-lovers that cannot visit us, we offer a special discounted ‘Mixed Dozen', so that you can try our wonderful range of wines. We really enjoy meeting our customers, but the reality is that much of our wine is purchased over the internet or phone, and delivered direct to our customers.  We have a daily delivery service.
 
Our Cellar Door

Location - The Monahan Estate cellar door is situated at 319 Wilderness Road, Lovedale, and was opened in 2002 to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of the Gillies Bridge that joins our property.

Trading Hours - The cellar door has proved very popular and we are open Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm. However, if you happen to be passing by on Monday - Wednesday then pop in or call us. The chances are we'll be close by and can provide a tasting of our wines.
