Poole's Rock Winery (formerly Harbridge fine wines) is located in DeBeyers Road, Pokolbin, Lower Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
In February 2002, Poole's Rock Wines purchased of one of Southcorp Wines largest regional wineries – the extensively refurbished Tulloch winery in the heart of Pokolbin, Hunter Valley.
This considerable facility sits proudly on the historic 183 acre Glen Elgin estate, founded in 1895 by the pioneering Tulloch family.
Over 22 acres of mature, drip irrigated Shiraz vineyard (some vines dating back to 1900) were also added to Poole's Rock Wines land-under-vine ledger. This historic vineyard has been re-named by Poole's Rock Wines the 'Post Office Vineyard', in recognition of the original Pokolbin Post Office which was once located on this site.
At the time of purchase the winery was rated at 2300 tonnes capacity, however there is ample room for future volume expansion to accommodate the demand for Poole's Rock, Cockfighter's Ghost and the Firestick range of wines. The winery also features a cellar door and state-of-the-art air-conditioned barrel store.
In 2003 the Company opened the Poole's Rock Wines Cellar Door facility where visitors can taste the full range of wines.
ROCK Restaurant and Firestick Café opened on this site in 2006.
