Wine is a Delicate Commodity

Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment. Pokolbin Estate Vineyard is not responsible for, and will not replace wine that is damaged by extreme weather conditions during shipment. When your wine order is picked up by the common carrier for delivery, responsibility for the wine becomes the responsibility of the purchaser. We understand some specific wines develop sediment, as well as aged corks can become soft. In the case of a wine being internally damaged, you are urged to contact Pokolbin Estate Vineyard at [email protected] or phone 02 4998 7524. Each case will be treated individually. Where appropriate, a replacement will be issued.
