Lowe Family Wine Co

Lowe Family Wine Co sits on Tinja Farm — an organic and biodynamic property on Tinja Lane in Mudgee, where David Lowe has spent 45 years making wine with minimal intervention and maximum respect for the land. The farm is one of the few genuinely biodynamic wine estates in New South Wales, and the results are wines of unusual vitality and character: Zinfandel that is unlike anything else grown in the country, Chardonnay with the weight and texture that comes from unirrigated, untrellised vines, and a range of reds that carry the flavour of the red volcanic soils they grew in. The Lowe Cellar Door is open daily from 10am to 5pm within the working winery, with views across the vineyards to the Mudgee hills. Bookings are currently essential for wine tastings. The Lowe Flow Tasting is $20 per person and guides guests through eight current release wines — reds, whites, and rosé — reflecting the season and the diversity of Lowe's organic and biodynamic practices. The Lowe Show, held on the first Saturday of every month, is an intimate 1.5-hour experience covering a short tour, flavour profiles, winemaking techniques, and a range of current, unreleased, and museum wines. The Food Store is open from 11am to 3pm daily (4pm Saturdays), and Zin House restaurant — one of Mudgee's most celebrated dining destinations — is bookable for groups who want to combine the tasting experience with a serious meal among the vines. Dogs are welcome to roam off-leash. With 807 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, Lowe is the most-reviewed winery in the Mudgee region — a reflection of how many guests make the trip specifically for what David and his team have built here over nearly five decades.
