Description Born-and-bred Hunter Valley specialist, Aaron Mercer spent years at Tamburlaine, and had stints at Tyrrell’s and Brokenwood, before setting up on his own. He’s also worked in California, France and Germany so brings a great deal of experience to his winemaking, with a great small-batch range from premium Hunter Valley sites, Tumbarumba and Orange. This classy, gently oaked 93pt Hunter Chardonnay boasts fresh peach, vanilla, and pannacotta flavours and a nutty edge. “... powerful, concentrated flavours... distinctly citrusy with lemon and grapefruit flavours... It offers freshness, flavour and finesse. Amazing value. 93pts.” (Toni Paterson, The Halliday Wine Companion).
The Hunter Valley is a region of New South Wales, Australia, extending from approximately 120 km (75 mi) to 310 km (193 mi) north of Sydney. The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best known wine regions, playing a pivotal role in the history of Australian wine and is one of the first wine regions planted all the way back in the early 19th century. Flanked by mountains to the west and north the Hunter Valley acts as a funnel, pulling cool ocean breezes into the area.
