The O'Neil family originally migrated from Ireland to Australia in 1852 and became greengrocers and miners. Four generations later Laurence and Philomena O’Neil established the original Cuttaway Hill on the slopes of Mt Gibraltar in the picturesque region of the Southern Highlands in New South Wales. The original Cuttaway Hill was planted with Chardonnay, Semillon, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Continued vineyard plantings across the region have led to growing complexity and subtlety in the wine styles and an expansion into exciting cool climate wines including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.

Cuttaway Hill's logo and label is named "Seven Daughters" in honour of the seven daughters of this the fifth and current generation of the O'Neil family to live in Australia. Seven Daughters is modelled on an etching by a local artist and portrays the timeless Southern Highlands landscape. The Seven Daughters logo and label, coupled with quality wines continues to be an integral part of Cuttaway Hill's success. Laurence and Philomena, their children and grandchildren, continue to strive for excellence in the shaping of Cuttaway Hill
