Product Info
— What You Can Expect —
The Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest producing wine region. The first vines were planted in the 1820s. Today, there are over 150 wineries producing a wide range of exceptional wines reflective of their origin. As one of the founding families of Hunter Valley wines, the Tulloch family story began in 1895 when John Younie (J.Y.) Tulloch accepted an unusual settlement for a debt — a 43 acre property in nearby Pokolbin. Tulloch took an immediate liking to the property and the five acres of neglected Shiraz vines it contained, and undertook his first foray into viticulture and winemaking.
Immerse yourself in the history of Tulloch Wines in Australia's oldest wine region, the Hunter Valley. In this tasting, 6 Tulloch wines have been chosen to perfectly represent the 'Hunter Heroes', the best-known grape varieties of Hunter Valley being Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Verdelho. Included in this tasting is a wine from our museum cellar, giving you an opportunity to taste and compare an aged Hunter wine alongside current release wines.
