Hunter Valley Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Sémillon, the classic white grape variety, does famously well here. Chardonnay is grown to lovely effect, too. As far as reds are concerned, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are the two most highly-regarded varieties, and blends of these grapes, when done right, can be fascinating amalgams of the best characteristics of both. The wines of this region seem to have real affinities for aging, and many of the best still perform brilliantly after more than a decade in the bottle. But remember, aging wine is a dangerous game unless you know what you're doing, so be careful�you don't want to hurt your delicious Hunter Valley wines.
