Details and technical informations about Winery Piggs Peake's Piggsy Tawny.
Discover the grape variety: Abondance
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and moderate acidity. Understated aromas of citrus and alpine white flowers. Rustic, productive profile. Preserved for its heritage value in varietal conservatories, it no longer contributes to commercial production. Not to be confused with the Abondant. An ancient native white grape from Savoy, once grown in Savoy and the Isère valley, now nearly extinct.

The wine region of Hunter Valley
Cradle of Australian viticulture (1825), 160 km north of Sydney. World signature: dry low-alcohol Sémillon (10-11°) with fresh citrus notes in youth, evolving after 10-15 years to candied lemon, toast, honey and beeswax, spectacular ageing. Medium-bodied "Hunter style" Shiraz, supple and earthy (leather, plum, sweet spices), capable of decades. Also Chardonnay and Verdelho.
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: Millerandage
Poor fertilization of some grapes at the time of flowering in cold or rainy weather. Milled grapes do not grow and usually do not contain seeds.
