James Halliday, in his 2010 Australian Wine Companion has again awarded us a prestigious 5 Red Star ranking. This is given to wineries who have maintained their 5 Star rating for at least 3 consecutive years. James defines the ranking as;
“Outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity”.
The 2004 'Alexander Munro' Semillon was awarded Top Gold medal in class 8 (Hunter Valley Semillon 2005 and older) and then was awarded the TROPHY for the BEST SEMILLON.
In the same class, the 2004 'Terracotta' Semillon was awarded a Silver medal.
In class 55 for Shiraz (All other regions and blends), the 2008 Shiraz (Hilltops/Hunter) won Top Gold.
"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".

"The Hell Hole name refers to the hot, dry country that is the Hunter Valley. Rhys Eather has packed a lot of fruit into this '09: plenty of lime and lemon citrus, even grapefruit on the palate. Great texture and a sparkling crisp acid finish." 93 points.
