Q

What are the major grapes of the Hunter Zone?

A

Despite the heat, 60% of Hunter’s output is white wine; Semillon, or “Hunter Riesling,” is the region’s greatest white grape. Top Hunter Valley Semillon, such as Tyrrell’s “Vat 1,” may age for over two decades, surpassing an austere, grassy youth to develop richness, honey, and buttered toast tones over time.

Surprisingly for such a warm climate, the grape rarely achieves more than 11-12% abv.

The Portuguese white variety Verdelho is also popular in the region, producing more aromatic, tropical-scented wines. Broke Fordwich, a subregion of Hunter, claims the oldest Verdelho plantings in the country and offers dynamic Semillon wines sourced from sandy, alluvial soils. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are the region’s most important red grapes.
