Hunter Valley is a wine lover’s paradise, home to some of Australia's finest vineyards. Among these gems is our very own estate, where we craft wines that reflect the unique characteristics of this beautiful region.
From crisp whites to robust reds, our selection offers something special for every palate.
Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or just beginning your journey into the world of wine, you'll find that our collection captures the essence of Hunter Valley. In this guide, we’ll introduce you to some of our standout wines, highlighting what makes them unique and why they deserve a place on your tasting list.
Discover the Unique Flavours of Our Semillon
Our Selkie Semillon is one of the stars of our collection. This white wine is known for its bright and zesty flavours. When you take a sip, you might notice a mix of citrus notes like lemon and lime, balanced with a hint of green apple. These fresh tastes make Semillon a perfect wine to enjoy on a warm day.
This wine is versatile and pairs well with many types of food. It goes great with seafood like prawns and oysters. It’s also a good match for light salads and chicken dishes. The bright acidity of the Semillon helps to cleanse the palate, making each bite of food taste even better.
The ageing process can also change the profile of our Semillon. If you try a bottle that has aged for a few years, you might find more complex flavours like honey and toast. This makes older Semillon a real treat for those who appreciate the depth and character that comes with time.
Elevate Your Experience with Our Shiraz
Our Wulver Shiraz is a bold and rich red wine that showcases the best of Hunter Valley. This wine is full of dark fruit flavours like redcurrants, red cherries, and blackcurrant. There are also hints of earthiness, spice and pepper, which add to the wine’s complexity and depth.
Shiraz is loved for its robust body and smooth tannins, which make it enjoyable to sip on its own or with a meal. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled meats, stews, and barbecues. The bold flavours of the wine complement the smoky and savoury notes of these foods.
When you drink our Shiraz, you’ll also notice a long and satisfying finish. This is a sign of its quality and the careful process we use to produce it. Whether you’re enjoying a cosy night in or celebrating with friends, our Shiraz adds a touch of elegance and richness to any occasion.
Delight in Our Elegant Chardonnay
Our Premium Chardonnay is a true gem within our vineyard collection. This white wine is well-loved for its smooth, creamy texture and balanced flavours. When you take a sip, you’ll notice notes of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, along with subtle hints of vanilla and oak from the barrel ageing process.
Chardonnay is known for its versatility and can complement a wide range of dishes. It pairs beautifully with creamy pasta dishes, roasted chicken, and even seafood like lobster and scallops. The creamy mouthfeel and balanced acidity of our Chardonnay help to enhance the flavours of these foods, creating a delightful dining experience.
One of the standout features of our Chardonnay is its ability to develop complex flavours over time. As it ages, the wine evolves, revealing layers of honey, nuts, and a slight mineral finish. This makes it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy wines with depth and character. Whether you’re enjoying a casual meal at home or hosting a special event, our Chardonnay brings a touch of elegance to the table.
Why Our Rosé Is Perfect for Any Occasion
Our Organic Rosé is a versatile and refreshing wine that’s perfect for any occasion. This delightful pink wine is light and crisp, with flavours of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and a subtle yet pleasant creamy finish. It’s the perfect wine to enjoy chilled on a warm day, making it a favourite during the spring and summer months.
What makes our Rosé special is its ability to pair with a variety of foods. It’s excellent with light dishes like salads, grilled fish, and pasta with fresh tomatoes. It also complements cheeses and charcuterie, making it an ideal choice for picnics and casual gatherings. The bright acidity and fruity notes make every bite taste even better.
Our Rosé is also a great wine for celebrations. Whether you’re toasting at a wedding, enjoying a garden party, or simply relaxing with friends, a glass of our Rosé adds a joyous touch to the moment. Its vibrant flavour and beautiful hue create a festive atmosphere, no matter the setting.
