Iron GateEstate

Roger Lilliott planted Semillon, Verdelho and Shiraz on a bare Pokolbin paddock in 1996. The cellar door that followed — Spanish terracotta tiles, hand-painted courtyard work by a Newcastle University artist, iron gates by Queensland blacksmith Paul Simpson — still anchors the estate. Winemaker Geoff Broadfield, with 43 vintages behind him, has run the cellar since 2018.
