De Iuliis
The Lovedale Road region of the Hunter Valley is renowned for producing world class wines. In 1987 we chose our property because of its potential to continue the tradition of producing outstanding wines. After three years of soil preparation the first vines were planted in 1990. We now are starting to see the rewards of such careful planing and preparation. With some impressive wins recently at the prestigious Hunter Valley Wine Shows the wines are well on track to becoming some of the best in the area.

Back Label Text
One of the great wines of Australia, Hunter Shiraz is powerful as it is subtle, with pure fruit flavours balanced by spice and earthy characters. Round, soft tannins mean it can be enjoyed young, but balance and great length of flavour ensure this will reach its best in 5-10 years. Enjoy this fine example of a true Hunter Shiraz.
