Bringing Molly’s Story to Life
We’re excited to share a special collaboration with Newcastle artist Mitch Revs. Known for creating scenes that invite you to look closer and discover new details each time, Mitch has produced a one-of-a-kind artwork that celebrates both Molly Morgan Wines and the remarkable history of our namesake, Molly Morgan.

The Artwork
At first glance, the piece is a lively depiction of our Lovedale vineyard, but look closer and you’ll discover that it’s also a visual storybook of Molly Morgan’s extraordinary life.
Mitch has reimagined existing farm structures and embedded historical details into the vineyard scene:
- The cellar door transformed into Molly’s original wine shanty
- A bustling Angel Inn woven seamlessly into the landscape
- A hospital and school, proudly standing as a tribute to the buildings Molly established for the community
- The Neptune ship, marking her journey from England to New South Wales
- Subtle characters and touches that reflect Molly’s convict past and her generosity to settlers and freed convicts
Each element reveals a layer of Molly’s story, hidden within the familiar setting of the vineyard.

Bringing Past and Present Together
Through Mitch’s unmistakable artistic lens, Molly Morgan’s history is brought to life in a way that’s vibrant, imaginative, and deeply tied to place. The piece is both a celebration of our vineyard today and a tribute to the pioneering woman who inspired our name.
Whether you’re drawn to the colour and detail of Mitch’s style or fascinated by the history woven into the work, the collaboration offers a new way to experience the story of Molly Morgan.
A story of resilience, community, and connection to the Hunter.



Molly Morgan’s Story
Molly Morgan was a twice-transported convict who went on to become one of the Hunter Valley’s most notable pioneers. After arriving in New South Wales with the Second Fleet in 1790, escaping back to England, and later being re-transported in 1804, she rebuilt her life through farming, hospitality, and land dealings.
Granted land at Wallis Plains (now Maitland), Molly established a wine shanty, built the Angel Inn, opened a hospital and school, and grew her holdings to become one of the region’s wealthiest landowners.
Known for her resilience, entrepreneurial spirit, and generosity, she supported free settlers and convicts alike. Her determination left a lasting mark on the Hunter Valley and earned her a place in Australia’s early colonial history.
