What initially was a side hustle for Liz & Shaun Silkman in 2013, Silkman is now one of the hottest micro winemakers in the country.
Being Shortlisted for Winery of the Year as well as Winemaker of the Year by the world-renowned Halliday Wine Companion in 2025, we thought was the ultimate recognition for our small brand. It wasn’t until the esteemed James Halliday Wine Companion named Liz Silkman 2025 Halliday Winemaker of the Year – the first Hunter Valley Winemaker to ever be bestowed with this title, that we realised just what they had created and what the potential is.
Silkman are hand crafted ultra small batch wines. The full range is only available through our online store and now, through our most flexible wine club. Or leave us your details so we can ensure that you receive an allocation of your favourite wines vintage after vintage.
