Discover the grape variety: Greco
Structured, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity, with signature aromas of yellow fruits (pear, peach, apricot), white flowers (acacia), almond, volcanic mineral notes and a typical bitter finish. Fine ageing potential. Absolute star of Greco di Tufo DOCG, one of Italy's great southern whites. Italian variety of Greek origin (hence its name), grown in Campania and southern Italy.
Informations about the James Estate

The wine region of Upper Hunter Valley
GI sub-region of the Hunter Valley (NSW), further inland (Denman, Scone, Muswellbrook) at slightly higher altitude: Chardonnay dominates (70%+) with rich oaked flavours of peach and cream, sometimes blended with Semillon into aromatic whites. Robust reds complement. Warmer and drier than Lower Hunter, free-draining sandy-loamy soils — favourable dry season delivers crisp white profiles without excessive subtropical humidity.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Biodynamic (agriculture)
Organic agriculture is part of a vision of the world linking the plant and all living beings to the cosmos and basing work in the vineyard and the cellar on the cycles of the moon.
