Kirkton Wines
Hunter Valley, NSW

John Busby established Kirkton Estate at Lower Belford, Hunter Valley in 1830. John, his wife and family journeyed to Port Jackson, Sydney from Leith, Scotland aboard the Triton in February of 1824.
Kirkton Estate was the first vineyard to be established in
the Hunter Valley by John Busby in 1830. Kirkton’s historic importance grew from its intrinsic association with James Busby, (son of John Busby) and its role in being the incubator for what remains the largest and most diverse viticulture assessment project undertaken in Australia. The 365 varieties of vines he planted at his father’s vineyard “Kirkton”, together with writing numerous publications on Viticulture and Winemaking, bestowed upon him recognition as the “Father of the Australian Wine Industry”.
