Firefighters have been called to reports of a fire at a major Hunter Valley winery.
Newcastle Fire Command say they received a triple-oh call from a security guard at 3.40am on Tuesday who noticed smoke coming from the roof of a two storey building at Brokenwood Wines on McDonalds Road at Pokolbin.
Six fire trucks and several RFS crews are at the scene.
Crews report steam coming from a cooling tower.
A ladder platform from Newcastle Fire Station was called in to assist with an inspection of the roof space and all crews have since been stood down and returned to their stations.
