This 40+ year old winery in the heart of the Hunter Valley is home to not one, but two icons of the Australian wine world: the multi-regional Cricket Pitch and the vineyard specific Graveyard Shiraz. However, it was the Semillon sourced from 30 year old vines that showed its best (yellow-green) colors in the 2013 vintage. Ripe and aromatic. No oak, no malolactic. Just pure Hunter Valley.
