Frequently Asked Questions

How many cases do you produce each year?

It is very vintage dependant, but usually between 8,000 and 10,000 cases. Since most of our wines are single vineyard wines we cannot increase the quantities in very low yielding years like we have been experiencing of late.

What do you consider to be your best wines?

Our 'Alexander Munro' wines are our flagship wines and represent the best parcels of Semillon, Shiraz and Chardonnay fruit we receive into the winery each vintage.

What is the best wine you have ever made?

A difficult question to answer as there have been may very good wines, but a personal favourite is the 1998 'Alexander Munro' Shiraz which at nearly 10 years of age now is still youthful and has decades in front of it.

Having said that, the 2005 'Alexander Munro' Shiraz is every bit as good and has all the hallmarks for very long term cellaring.

What have been the top Hunter vintages recently?

There have been many. For semillon '94, '97, '99, '04, '05 and '06 have been great. Shiraz was great for '98, '00, '03, '05, '06 and very recently '07.

Latest Reviews

"What a cracker Hunter red this is! Deep purple in the glass, it beguiles with scents of berry pastille and bouquet garni. Big, intense Satsuma plum flavour glides onto the front of the palate, and cassis, dark chocolate and peppermint fruit characters meld with savoury oak on the middle palate. Earthy tannins show at the finish."

John Lewis - Newcastle Herald - 17th December 2011

2003 'Alexander Munro' Shiraz - Aged Release

"A great semi-mature, traditional Hunter semillon from Rhys Eather, a top winemaker. Bright mid-yellow; multi-faceted bouquet of honey, lemon, candle wax and browned toast. It's very intense and alive, lean and long with penetrating flavour and a clean aftertaste. Now to seven years. 11 per cent alcohol." 95 / 100.
