2014 Merlot
From the Hunter's best vintage ever, this Merlot has not put a foot wrong! Continuing to be soft yet complex on the palate, this wine has David Hook style written all over it – classic fruit flavour dominating, with older French oak barrel treatment for 14 months. This Merlot will reach its peak flavour complexity in 2019, and will drink well for at least another 10-15 years after that. -
2014 Shiraz
DUAL TROPHY-WINNER! With 6 medals (including a Top Gold Medal) and 2 trophies – need we say more! If you need further confirmation of this one’s pedigree, have a look at our Awards page for a full list of credits. Deep cherry red in colour, this wine has complex aromas of plums, aniseed, spice and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry fruit flavours and an interesting note of menthol, finishing with soft and drying tannins. While always magnificent to drink now, this Shiraz will cellar well up to at least 2034. -
2016 Verdelho
SOLD OUT! (we'll keep you posted about our 2019 Verdelho) 2016 started out rainy, but our grape sugars picked up and created (with a little help from Hooky!) this luscious and fruity wine that sashays across the palate, revealing glimpses of pineapple and passionfruit balanced with fruity sweetness and a crisp, lively finish. -
2016 Shiraz
Our Shiraz shines on! With spicy aromatics and full berry flavours, this has truly come into its own after 16 months in bottle. With sophisticated Hunter Shiraz characteristics, this wine is a winner already, with two silver medals under its belt. Throw beef, venison or duck and this, and sit back and be surprised! Drink now or cellar another 10-15 years – it's a shame we have very little of this left! -
2017 Rosé
What a stand-out rosé - it's just delightful! Our awarded Merlot brings crisp and light flavours to this wine, with notes of honey and strawberries and cream bringing joy to the palate. This is our fave veranda wine for sunny afternoons; beautifully complements pasta, seafood or chilli dishes. -
2017 The Mike Shiraz
It was a ripper of a vintage in 2017! A very hot and dry season, combined with a later harvest, gives a complex Shiraz with notes of black fruit and cassis, bringing a full and concentrated flavour. Bottled in July 2018, this wine is developing remarkable flavours in bottle - a very grown-up Shiraz! Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years. -
2017 Sweet Sophie
LIMITED AVAILABILITY - only a few cases left! We didn’t think we could improve on our 2014 Sweet Sophie – but we did! This little Verdelho caresses the palate with hints of pineapple and passionfruit, with honey and green apple tones starting to emerge. Bright, fresh and beautifully balanced, Sophie is perfect as an aperitif, with strong cheeses, pâté, or dessert and dark chocolate. Enjoy well-chilled. -
2018 Bella Bubbles
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! - $20 per bottle* (*min. purchase 2 or more - valid to 31/12/18) What a beauty is Bella, and proving to be very popular - this is a neutral palate sparkling rosé, so it's neither too sweet nor too dry ... it's just right! The fresh and juicy Merlot berry flavours shine bright and clear, the twinkling bubbles bringing a light touch of sweetness through to a crisp finale. Not just for special occasions – enjoy chilled with any glittering celebration, especially this festive season! -
2018 Block 1 Verdelho
Bottled earlier this year, our 2018 Verdelho is developing into an even more delicious little wine! Light pineapple undertones are now emerging, along with the original flavours of honeydew, fresh citrus and tropical fruits. Delicate floral notes and subtle hints of spice to finish. Sensational with seafood, fiery Asian dishes, or just enjoy while relaxing on a hot Summer arvo. -

Woof Woof Red
This wine is proving to be barking popular! It’s from a well-known Lovedale vineyard and was crafted by a well-known local winemaker with over 40 years of experience. This is an Italian varietal that's very popular in Tuscany; usually made as a rosé style or a light red, our version is a medium-bodied Hunter style red. Great in Winter with a roast, or try chilled in Summer with pizza, pasta, or around the barbie. Fantastico! And remember – 10% from each bottle of Woof Woof wines sold goes to PetRescue. -
2018 Maddie’s Merlot
NOW AVAILABLE! A slight departure from our usual aged-in-old-oak style, our winemaker (Nick Paterson) recommended that we bottle this Merlot a little earlier than usual (mid-November 2018) to showcase all the bright, berry fruit flavours - and boy, was he right! 'Maddie' is already turning heads - it's a fresh and dainty Merlot that could certainly be chilled on hot Summer days. Nick also introduced a new Saury French oak barrel (300L) to approx. 1/3 of the total volume, then combined that with the remaining 2/3 volume in our older French oak barrels. While drinking SO easily now, we’re excited to see how this will age – it’s an absolute cracker! -
2018 Sweet Sophie
Oh how we love our little Sophie! Our 2018 version (and you'll notice we've gone back to a 375mL pocket-sized bottle!) has a range of bright citrus and tropical fruit flavours, that will then develop lovely honey notes over time. This is a real little sweetie with a beautifully balanced and crisp finish. Enjoy well-chilled as an aperitif, with delicate desserts, to temper light Asian dishes, or to complement charcuterie and cheese.
