"HUNTER VALLEY -oldest wine zone in New South Wales overcomes a tricky climate to make fascinating, ageworthy Semillon and rich, buttery Chardonnay. Shiraz is the mainstay for reds, aging well but often developing a leathery overtone; Cabernet is occasionally successful. Premium region is Lower Hunter Valley; the Upper Hunter has few wineries but extensive vineyards".
