In light of the Sydney Opera House’s new partnership with French Champagne, Robert Stein Winery reaffirms its commitment to supporting NSW’s local wine industry. Highlighting the exceptional quality and care of regional producers, the winery underscores the importance of championing homegrown wines during challenging times for growers and winemakers alike.

Recently, the Sydney Opera House announced a partnership with French Champagne house Pommery. This decision has sparked discussion across the NSW wine industry, which is currently facing one of its most challenging periods in decades.

At Robert Stein Winery, supporting local producers has always been at the heart of what we do. From our vineyards to our winery team, we are proud to work with the growers, families, and communities across NSW who craft world-class wines.

While international sparkling has its place, we believe there is no substitute for celebrating the exceptional quality, care, and sustainability of our own regions - From the Hunter Valley and Orange to the Southern Highlands, Tumbarumba, Mudgee, Cowra, and the Riverina, these are wines crafted by families who pour their passion into every bottle.

For us, supporting local isn’t a trend - it’s our legacy, creating meaningful opportunities and sustainable business for families and small producers across NSW’s wine regions and Australia wine. We hope more institutions, venues, and wine lovers will champion the incredible wines being made right here at home.
