LAKE'S FOLLY
Lake's Folly is one of Australia's most historic and influential boutique wineries, located in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Founded in 1963 by Dr Max Lake, the winery is widely regarded as a pioneer of modern Australian fine wine and has played a significant role in shaping the country's premium wine industry.
Situated on a small vineyard in the Lower Hunter Valley, Lake's Folly benefits from a warm climate moderated by maritime influences and carefully selected vineyard sites. From its earliest vintages, the winery established a reputation for producing wines of elegance, longevity, and consistency, earning a place among Australia's most revered producers.
Lake's Folly is best known for its flagship Cabernet blend, one of Australia's original Bordeaux-inspired wines. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Shiraz, the wine displays aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, and spice, supported by fine tannins and exceptional ageing potential. The winery is also highly regarded for its Chardonnay, which combines citrus, stone fruit, subtle oak influence, and balanced acidity in a refined and age-worthy style.
The philosophy at Lake's Folly centres on meticulous vineyard management, low yields, and traditional winemaking techniques. The winery's intentionally small production allows for exceptional attention to detail, resulting in wines that consistently reflect the unique character of the Hunter Valley.
Today, Lake's Folly remains one of Australia's most respected fine wine estates, producing highly sought-after wines that are prized by collectors, sommeliers, and wine enthusiasts around the world.
