Thomas Wines

Andrew Thomas is a modern-day legend in the Hunter Valley, crafting some of the region's greatest wines for over three decades. His personal label is regarded as a benchmark winery, with a focus on premium Shiraz and Semillon— the Hunter Valley's hero varieties. Thomas has access to some of the region’s best vineyards, allowing him to create wines that truly capture the essence of the Hunter.

Originally from McLaren Vale, Thommo moved to the Hunter Valley to join the winemaking team at Tyrrell's Wines. After 13 years, he ventured out to develop his own label, making single-vineyard wines that highlight the subtle differences between Hunter’s subregions. The acquisition of the Braemore Vineyard in 2017 was a significant milestone, securing a long-term supply of grapes from one of the Hunter Valley's most distinguished Semillon sites. His eldest son, Daniel, joined as assistant winemaker in 2020, continuing the family legacy.

Thomas Wines is known for its classic Hunter Valley Shiraz and Semillon, but it also occasionally explores innovative styles without compromising on value. The white wines are delicate and cellar-worthy, while the reds are full-bodied and classic in the best sense of the word, making them one of the benchmarks for modern Hunter Shiraz. 

A mentor to much of the next generation of Hunter producers, if you want to try the essence of the Hunter Valley, Thommo's wines are a must-try.

"Thomas is a significant producer from a significant region. It does the Hunter Valley classics – shiraz and semillon – as well as anyone. It reaches for the stars but never ignores value and, where appropriate, it pushes the style envelope in search of the possible. The white wines show delicacy, the red wines are bold. This is a producer who knows when to hold and knows when to fold."
