Mercer Wines

Mercer Wines has been fermenting for many years. Aaron started over 20 years ago selling wine and scrubbing tanks in the Hunter Valley. Learning from local legends, he soon realised the joy of making wine and has continued his education all over the world.

Mercer is one of NSW’s most awarded and versatile winemakers. With extensive experience working in France, Germany, Canada and California, he is best known for his positive impact on organic and preservative free winemaking in Australia.

Aaron has settled back in the Hunter Valley with his wife, Alison, and children, Will, Audrey and little Charlie. He adores the kids visiting the winery, squashing grapes during vintage or simply being proud to see the new ‘Mercer Wines’.
