Always organic.Always accessible.

Disciple Wines is organic natural wine from Blackheath, in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

Tom and Jess buy organic fruit from farmers in Orange, Mudgee and Rylstone, farm a little themselves in the mountains, and make the wine in their winery in Blackheath: hand picked, wild fermented, minimal additions only when absolutely necessary.

Every vintage has a playlist, every cuvée has a song.

The place

Blackheath NSW

About 1,000 m above the sea · two hours west of Sydney

Blackheath sits near the top of the Blue Mountains, around a thousand metres up. The winery is here. The fruit comes from organic growers in Orange, Mudgee and Rylstone, and from a small patch Tom and Jess farm in the mountains themselves.

Come and drink the wines at Frankie & Mo's, their wine bar in the village.

The people

Tom + Jess (Vigneron & Winemakers)

Tom and Jess met in 2019, after Jess slid into Tom's DMs and relentlessly pursued her dream of becoming a winemaker. She manifested so hard it became real. They have made wine together since 2021 and started Disciple Wines in 2025.

Opposites that attract and complete each other, which became the story of Disciple: blending unlikely varieties and pushing boundaries is their MO.

Dogmatic? Maybe. But really we just like it that way. Some of the wines will slap for you, others might be a pass, and that's the point. Be daring. Live a lot.

When they are not in the winery they are pouring at Frankie & Mo's, their wine bar in Blackheath.
