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: Acescence
An alteration in wine also known as pitting (hence the expression piqué wine), due to the presence of acetic acid and ethyl acetate, and characterized by a vinegar-like odor.
