Lambloch Estate

Whether it be upmarket housing or mining tenements, the address is all important. Jas Khara acquired the 8ha vineyard now known as Lambloch Estate, adjoining Lake's Folly and directly opposite McWilliam's Rosehill Vineyard. All three share the red volcanic soils not often found in the Hunter Valley. With a strong marketing background in brand creation, he has invested in a new cellar door on Broke Road (itself an all-important artery) with large open areas overlooking the vines and a backdrop of the Brokenback Range in the middle distance. Currently almost all of the production is sold in Belgium, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and China. -JAMES HALLIDAY
