New South Wales

New South Wales

Enveloping the exquisite ranges of Australia’s southeast coast, New South Wales is an enchanting region famed for its elite vineyards and wine production. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the east, the region is home to various microclimates ideal for growing an interesting blend of grape varietals catering to every discerning palate.

Boasting a wine history that dates back to the early 19th century, the vineyards of the central and southern part of New South Wales are particularly loved for their spotlight on cooler-climate varietals. They gracefully produce high-quality Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay alongside applauded renditions of Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. Up in the northern hills, however, Semillon becomes the star which most pre-eminently manifests in the Hunter Valley, Australia's oldest wine region.

The Hunter Valley, a significant place in the wine-making map, clinches acclaim for its unique, early-maturing and full-bodied Semillon. Its intensely flavoured yet delicate Chardonnay and dark cherry-infused Shiraz also possess remarkable wine enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the rising wine region of Orange on the central slopes is gaining recognition for its elegant cool-climate wines, as does the high-altitude district of Mudgee on the western slopes.

Optimised by a diverse climate and an admirable wealth of soil types ranging from the rich volcanic to the sandy alluvial, New South Wales beholds diverse vines and wine styles. Such diversity underpins its aptitude to produce a broad spectrum of wines, from the elegant, complex white wines made from Semillon and Chardonnay, to the full-bodied, spicy reds from Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

With the perfect complement of sun, earth, and passion in each pour, every bottle of wine from New South Wales narrates a story of the region's unyielding commitment to excellence, a testament to the best of Australian wine craftsmanship.
