Hunter Valley
Australia's Oldest Wine Region
Australia's oldest wine region, where warm, humid conditions and vintage rainfall have shaped two centuries of winemaking — producing the inimitable Hunter Semillon (unoaked, age-worthy, one of the world's great originals) and earthy, medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz. Family dynasties including Tyrrell, Drayton, and Tulloch still tend vines planted by their forebears.
