When most people think of Shiraz, they picture big, bold, brooding red wines. But in the Hunter Valley Shiraz is getting noticed as people veer away from big bold and high in alcohol wine styles. Some say Hunter Shiraz is Shiraz for Pinot Noir drinkers – it’s bright, fresh, fruit forward, versatile and full of character. It’s a fabulous balance between tradition and excitement as winemakers across the Hunter are crafting exciting new styles and blends that are catching the attention of sommeliers, wine lovers, and experimental drinkers alike.
