For almost 200 hundred years this warm climate wine region has been producing top Shiraz and Semillon enjoyed all over the world. In particular, the Hunter Valley boasts an aged Semillon and a medium bodied, earthy Australian Shiraz. What makes the Hunter so special? Nick explains, \u201cYou&#8217;ve got multiple generations working across multiple wineries over the years, sharing their knowledge travelling around the country and the world and then bringing that knowledge, that skill and those initiatives back into a wine region.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8444\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8444\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/311120156_112640284955968_7542950936260618498_n.jpg\" alt=\"Hungerford Hill\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/311120156_112640284955968_7542950936260618498_n.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/311120156_112640284955968_7542950936260618498_n-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@hungerfordhill<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The future of the Hunter Valley<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With such a rich history, wine enthusiasts can\u2019t help but wonder what\u2019s next for the Hunter. \u201cThe Hunter Valley really is a region that is caught between traditional values and constantly innovating and redeveloping itself, Nick comments. \u201cEveryone&#8217;s ready to give something a go in the Hunter but you always have to look at where you&#8217;ve come from.\u201d From where and how vines are planted\u2014such as planting vines higher off the ground\u2014to new techniques to increase yield, there\u2019s no shortage of experimentation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Climate change also requires adaptation. \u201cThe rise of alternative varietals and seeing different growers trying to push what they can grow&#8230;We need to look at what we can swap around, taking out some clones of Shiraz and putting in Tempranillo,\u201d Nicks says. \u201cEveryone&#8217;s doing something a little bit different. We currently have on tasting two different sorts of the same fruit from the same block. One is very sweet and the other is quite dry. It&#8217;s almost bone dry. They were only picked a few hours apart but it&#8217;s the natural residual sugar in them just makes them pop.\u201d In fact, Hungerford Hill has something for everyone.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8445\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8445\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/276976560_288921906653662_2219612883278141994_n.jpg\" alt=\"Hungerford Hill vineyard\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/276976560_288921906653662_2219612883278141994_n.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/276976560_288921906653662_2219612883278141994_n-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@hungerfordhill<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hungerford Hill<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This Australian winery is in a unique position to offer a breadth of varietals while embracing the grapes that the Hunter Valley is known for. \u201cWhat we do at Hungerford Hill and what a lot of other but not all wineries in the Hunter are doing now is giving you a sample of what Australian wine can be&#8230;We are very fortunate in the Hunter Valley, where we are at Hungerford, to have a lot of different varietals but also to have a fairly broad wine philosophy: We make wine for people.\u201d This philosophy embraces the ideology that wine is meant to be drunk. \u201cIt&#8217;s not to hide away it&#8217;s not to just give us a gift.
