It’s vintage time in Wine Country, and there’s nothing more cheering than seeing the vineyards harvested for what we hope will turn into the best vintage ever!
This year’s vintage looks full of potential, with high-quality fruit and reasonably good yields provided to us by Mother Nature and her hard-working vignerons. Hunter winemakers are incredibly optimistic about this year’s vintage – and for good reason. The above-average rainfall left the vineyards looking bright and healthy with solid canopies and good crop levels – and we can’t wait to taste the results!
Inspired by his father’s frequent trips to Italy, Tim Davis of Carillion Wines in Mount View became interested in the types of grapes grown in particular landscapes and climates and likened them to those of his own vineyards back in Australia.
We saw live music return to the Hunter last month, and we will soon be treated to international live music acts when Under the Southern Stars hits the stage at Maitland in a few weeks.
