SEASONAL SHOWCASE
This Upper Hunter Vermentino captures the energy of the 2023 vintage with a vibrant pale lemon hue and a nose of green apple and lime. A brief time on skins and fermentation on fine lees has added texture and lift, while the palate delivers a crisp line of acidity wrapped in stone fruit and melon. Fresh, lively, and layered — it’s no surprise this wine took home the trophy for Best Other White Variety at the 2023 NSW Wine Awards.
A light fluorescent pink hue and aromas of strawberries and cream are the hallmark of this Hunter Valley rosé. A gentle soak on skins has drawn out vibrant colour and lifted aromatics, while a cool ferment preserves its bright, juicy core. The palate is all about freshness — think crunchy red fruits, zesty acidity, and a mouth-watering finish that begs for another sip. Best enjoyed chilled, preferably with good company and a plate of antipasto.

HUNTER HEROES
With over 160 years of winemaking history, Tyrrell’s stands as one of the Hunter Valley’s most iconic and enduring wineries. Home to century-old vines, the estate consistently produces some of the region’s finest fruit. In 1961, Murray Tyrrell pioneered the private bin system, aging wines in individual oak barrels—known as “vats”—and naming each wine after the vat in which it matured. The selection below showcases a distinguished range of these celebrated varietals.
vat 1 semillon
The Vat 1 is a benchmark Hunter Valley wine, celebrated for its purity, finesse, and longevity. Displaying zesty lemon and grapefruit notes; with age, develops into a complex wine with notes of honey, toasted nuts, and a waxy texture.
vat 47 chardonnay
An iconic Hunter Valley wine with a storied past, the Vat 47 is known for its purity and power, this wine opens with vibrant citrus and white stone fruit, balanced by subtle oak and creamy texture.
vat 9 shiraz
Hunter Valley Shiraz at its finest. Savoury, elegantly balanced, and deeply expressive, Vat 9 is crafted from Tyrrell’s oldest estate vineyards, some dating back to 1892.
vat 8 shiraz cabernet
A classic Australian blend, Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet brings together the elegance of Hunter Valley Shiraz and the structure of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon.
Founded in 1970 as a weekend passion project, Brokenwood Wines has grown into one of Australia’s most respected and innovative wineries. Nestled in the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges, the estate is home to the iconic Graveyard Vineyard— originally earmarked as a cemetery, now producing some of the country’s most acclaimed Shiraz. With a philosophy rooted in single vineyard expression and regional excellence, Brokenwood sources premium fruit from across Australia to craft wines of character and distinction.
