Cooks Lot

Cook family estate is a boutique winery producing wines from the premium cool climate region of Orange.

Based on the edge of Mount Canobolas, crafting wines of distinction, complexity and elegance which exemplify the regions terroir. Winemaker Duncan Cook studied winemaking at Charles sturt University.

Renowned wine critic Huon Hooke commented that all of his wines are consistently good and remarkable value for money.

Cook family estate works with a number of small growers in Orange, that focus on growing premium fruit. The climate in Orange is strongly influenced by, and largely dependent on elevation. Hence the importance of growing any particular varietal at the appropriate altitude. Which is why Cook family estate’s fruit is grown in several vineyards at different altitudes and soils, rather than a single vineyard which is often the norm in Australia.
