**Hunter Valley** lies in New South Wales, north of Sydney, and is the oldest continuously producing wine region in Australia. It holds a special place in the country's wine history and identity. **Wines & grapes** — Its most distinctive wine is Semillon, picked early and made low in alcohol, and Shiraz is the classic red. Chardonnay and Verdelho are grown too, but Semillon and Shiraz define the valley's character. **Character** — The climate is warm and humid, unusual for fine wine, yet it yields a Semillon that is light and citrusy when young and transforms with age into a honeyed, toasty white, alongside earthy, medium-bodied Shiraz. **Good to know** — Aged Hunter Semillon is considered one of the wine world's great, and most unlikely, cellar treasures.
