2006 Shiraz, Hungerfold Hill, New South Wales, Australia, Hunter Valley

Hungerford Hill is a boutique estate in the heart of the Hunter Valley making distinguished wines that are regional and authentic. Family owned for over a decade, the Kirby family has worked tirelessly to build on the winery’s proud reputation that began over forty years ago and to create a memorable cellar door experience. The passion behind the wine comes from an able team guided by winemaker Adrian Lockhart, making wines with a focus on the cool climate regions from around New South Wales that are packed with character and interest.

Hungerford Hill’s home is in the world-famous Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine region. The winery, designed by renowned architect Walter Barda, incorporates a spectacular barrel-shaped tasting room while concealed underground is the working cellar.

Careful nurturing by the winemakers provides the wine with a background signature that is always based on freshness and drinkability. These wines will reward medium term cellaring. Shiraz as a variety has the ability to offer an abundant quantity and array of fruit characters. This delivers the fruit generosity of the variety coupled with the complexity of carefully selected, spicy oak.
