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

"Meerea Park ‘Alexander Munro’ Hunter Valley Shiraz 2007: A full expression of the Hunter Shiraz style the only difference I found was a hint of pepper on the nose giving an extra edge to the savoury style 93 points now but more as it ages as for price $70 is a lot but this is a wine that should be up amongst the most fated that Australia has to offer therefore yes it is worth it."

Tony Keys - Key Report of Wine #27 - 30th April 2010

2007 'Alexander Munro' Shiraz


"Today, Meerea Park's wines are some of the finest in the region, in fact the whites are some of the best of their type in the country".
