With such varied soils, the Haynes team now produces a range of single-vineyard wines, including three Chardonnays, a Pinot Noir and a Syrah.
Lawrence Wine Estates is only the third owner in Haynes Vineyard's history. The first was Nathan Coombs, after whom Coombsville is named. Winemaker Nico Cueva has been here since 2020, having started his working life as an organic farmer. He considers himself a responsible caretaker of the land he works on and is keen to produce expressive and elegantly distinctive wines.
