World Wine – 'This is a seriously good semillon, just starting to open up and drink well, and will continue to do so for many years. The palate is juicy and ripe, fresh and clean and bright, with delicious lemon/herb fruit and a compelling juiciness. Already eminently drinkable.' 95 points - Gourmet Traveller Wine

Huon Hooke – 'Light straw-yellow colour. The aromas are superbly fresh and intense, youthful and bright, with herb and lemon aromas of real charm. The palate is juicy and ripe, fresh and clean and bright, with delicious lemon and herb and a compelling juiciness. It's fresh, youthful, reserved and not at all austere or tight. The acidity is perfectly balanced, the wine is eminently drinkable now and will certainly age well. A seriously good young semillon.' 95 points - Huon Hooke, Therealreview.com

James Halliday – It's a wine of balance, power and length, the pirouette of savoury-spicy-cherried flavours anchored by fine-set tannin and ripe cherry-leather fruit. Exquisite integration of oak. Drink to 2035.

The Wine Front – Only 300 cases made. Has previously included a percentage of tannat; not sure on this release. Complex herb and twig notes thread their way through a powerful serving of dark, cherried fruit flavour. It’s a powerful expression of Hunter shiraz but it’s not an over-ripe or over-done one. Tannin, length and balance are all ship-shape. Everything would indicate that this has a fine future ahead. Only 300 cases made.

James Halliday – ‘Includes 10% tannat, hand-picked, 10% whole bunches, the remainder crushed and destemmed, cultured yeast, open-fermented, 2 days cold soak, 7 days on skins, fermentation finished in used French puncheons, matured for 12 months. Bright hue; has a striking juicy freshness to the array of red and black fruits; while only just medium-bodied, the palate has compelling length and freshness.’ 95 Points – James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion

James Halliday – James Halliday’s Top 100 Wines of 2015 “Little or no color change; the bouquet is quite aromatic, but still focused on primary fruit, not toast or honey; the palate is electrifying, drawing saliva from the mouth with its mix of unsweetened lemon juice/lemon zest and life-giving acidity, the DNA of great Semillon.”

James Halliday – "A 52/48% blend of Hunter Valley and McLaren Vale (Blewitt Springs) fruit. The two components are separately fermented but blended soon after the end of fermentation; matured for 16 months in French hogsheads. A fascinating blend, with major synergy, as each component takes centre stage, but the dusty/chocolate/fine/savoury notes prevail. This is a mighty $25 wine." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

The Wine Front – “Mostly dark fruit with pepper and dark chocolate. Just a hint of vanilla, sage, peppermint and a sweet note of a ripe raspberry. There’s something simple and pure about this wine, it just hits the spot. It’s energetic with bright acidity and a distinctly bitter finish. Bitter like fruit skin and ground coffee. The good bitter. There’s a fair bit of drying powdery tannin, too. Even though it could use a bit more time in bottle, it’s cohesive and entirely pleasant now.” - Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front

James Halliday – “Any red wine of the 2021 vintage is by definition better than any offering from ’20, it with no more than a handful of Hunter Valley shiraz wines that dared to make the point. This is a wine with a 20-plus year future, firm, earthy black fruits not requiring a 'thank god' finish.” - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 202

Hunter Valley stands as a testament to Australia's wine heritage, boasting a wine-making history that spans over 180 years. This picturesque region, adorned with rolling hills and meandering vineyards, lies north of Sydney, making it an accessible paradise for wine enthusiasts. Its unique climate, characterized by warm, humid summers and cool winters, contributes to the distinctive flavors found in its wines. Semillon, the region's flagship varietal, ages gracefully, evolving from zesty lemon-lime notes to rich honeyed textures over time. Meanwhile, its Shiraz wines, though less famous than their South Australian counterparts, offer a delectable balance of fruit and spice. Beyond these, Chardonnay and Verdelho also have a strong presence, showcasing the diversity and adaptability of this iconic region.
Hunter Valley is situated in the southeastern part of Australia, more specifically in New South Wales. Just a couple of hours' drive to the north of Sydney, it's perfectly positioned for both locals and tourists alike, offering a scenic getaway that's not too far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Its fertile lands stretch across a vast expanse, with the Brokenback Range mountains providing a majestic backdrop. The region's geography, coupled with its climate, crafts an ideal environment for viticulture. The Hunter River, from which the valley gets its name, winds its way through the region, giving life to the rich soils that have been the foundation for wine-making endeavors for nearly two centuries.
Absolutely! Hunter Valley is renowned for producing high-quality wines, many of which are internationally recognized. Thanks to its diverse microclimates, the region can produce a wide array of varietals. While some premium wines, particularly aged Semillons or limited edition releases, can command higher prices, there are plenty of mid-range and entry-level options that offer exceptional value for their cost. This balance of quality and affordability makes Hunter Valley wines a favorite among both connoisseurs and casual wine drinkers.
Hunter Valley's distinction lies in its rich wine-making heritage, its unique climatic conditions, and its commitment to innovation. It's one of Australia's oldest wine regions, and its traditions are deeply rooted, with some vineyards tracing their lineage back to the 1800s. The terroir here is truly unique: the combination of loamy soils, warm summers, and the cooling influence of the coastal breezes lead to wines that are expressive and characteristic of the region. Additionally, while Hunter Valley embraces its history, it's not bound by it. Winemakers in the region continually experiment, pushing boundaries to create fresh and innovative wines.
Hunter Valley is best known for its Semillon, a grape varietal that produces wines noted for their longevity, evolving flavor profiles, and remarkable freshness. Young Hunter Valley Semillons often present lively citrus notes, but as they age, they develop rich, honeyed flavors that are highly sought after. The region's Semillons are often considered benchmarks for the varietal globally. However, Hunter Valley isn't a one-trick pony. It also produces commendable Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Verdelho wines, each with their unique expressions.
Identifying the "best" wines from Hunter Valley can be subjective, as it often depends on individual palates. However, some universally recognized standouts include the aged Semillons, which garner praise for their transformation from zesty and crisp wines to deep, complex offerings over time. The region's Shiraz wines, characterized by their balanced fruit and spice profiles, are also lauded. Many estates and wineries have received awards and accolades over the years. Some notable names include Tyrrell's, Brokenwood, and McWilliam's, among others. Each of these offers a range of wines that showcase the very best of what Hunter Valley has to offer.
