Mayfield Vineyard Orange NSW
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE AWARD WINNING MAYFIELD VINEYARD
In 1998, Mayfield was acquired by the Thomas family who set about planting the first vines in 1999. A number of cool climate grape varieties were planted and the property evolved into Mayfield Vineyard. In 2004, the property was subdivided into three lots with the southern and western lots sold which reduced Mayfield from 113 to 47 hectares.
The Eastham Family acquired the property in 2021. They went on to also purchase the previously sold western lot to reunite it to Mayfield and increase the property to 91 hectares. Under their careful guidance, new plantings began in 2022 extending the vineyard to include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris varieties with further plantings of new and emerging varieties also planned.
By 2023, the 2022 Mayfield ‘Block 14’ Chardonnay was awarded the Trophy for the Best NSW/ACT Chardonnay at the 2023 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards. In 2024, Mayfield was awarded 5 Stars by renowned wine critic James Halliday Wine Companion.
