Hector Tulloch

Hector John Tulloch 1893 - 1965

Following John Younie's death in 1940 the eldest of his five sons, Hector Tulloch, took over the reins of the family company and became Managing Director of J.Y. Tulloch & Sons P/L.

Hector was integral in bringing the family name to prominence during this period, particularly throughout the 1950's when he developed the famous Pokolbin Dry Red and Hunter River White labels. Hector's legacy lives on in the Australian wine industry as a pioneering Hunter Valley winemaker.  He was survived by a son, Jay (also J.Y.) Tulloch and a daughter, Helen.
