BALLABOURNEEN / BINET FAMILY WINES

The name Ballabourneen (Balla-bour-neen) is believed to be a Gaelic name that refers to a town road.  The original Ballabourneen vineyards were on a property close by The Old North Road, which is believed to have been built by convicts of Irish decent.  Ballabourneen is a signature range of wines produced by Binet Family Wines.  Ballabourneen wines have been coming out of the Hunter Valley since the early 1990s, and in 2008 Daniel Binet (pictured above) formed a joint venture with owner Alexander Stuart to extend the Ballabourneen range of wines, buying grapes from well-known Hunter Valley sources and making their wine at Tatler’s Lovedale Road facility.  In January 2016, Ballabourneen acquired its new home at Pokolbin Hill on McDonalds Road with the cellar door overlooking the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges.
