Hunter Valley – We are family

The Hunter Valley is not only Australia’s most famous Semillon region it is also Australia’s most historic family wine region.

From the five generation Drayton, Tulloch and Tyrrell families (the latter celebrating its 150th anniversary this year) to the first generation Margan’s and Thomas families, when you taste the Hunter you taste the work of more than 100 husbands and wives, mums and dads (and children) who are passionate about making the best wines in the country.

Tasting the Hunter is all about peeling back layers of discovery – learning that Hunter Semillon is a unique Australian white wine which keeps getting better with age, understanding that the region’s tough growing conditions actually produce some of our most famous Shiraz in Australia and that the region’s young winemakers are at the forefront of innovative new varieties and styles such as Tempranillo.
