Description Trophy and Gold-winning cool-climate Chardonnay another triumph for Hungerford Hill's Bryan Currie. The estate situated in the Hunter Valley also uses fruit from cool climate regions, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. "It’s taken a long time to get my head around Tumbarumba wine – it’s a truly unique place." Recent success for his wines out of the region illustrate that he has got his head around Tumbarumba wine very well indeed. This is lovely and elegant with beautifully balanced depth of flavour.
Vineyards are found at altitudes ranging from 300 to 800 metres (984 to 2624 feet). Vines have been grown in Tumbarumba since 1982 and currently there are more than 25 vineyards in the region. Due to the region's colder climate, the majority of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used for sparkling wine. However, when conditions allow, both grape varieties have been used to produce still wine. Vines were established at Tumbarumba in 1982.
Tumbarumba is a charming town offering an unspoilt experience for visitors. The dramatic peaks of the Snowy Mountains to the east, the bubbling streams and green fields offer a peaceful, gentle ambience. The cool climate wines on offer are something to savour, especially when matched with regional food.
