Vermentino hails from Italy’s Liguria region and the Mediterranean Islands of Sardinia and Corsica. Vermentino thrives in the warm climate of the Lower Hunter Valley with its thick skins and vibrant acidity. The wines are light to medium bodied with a textured palate. Produced from the St.

Vernay Vineyard below the Hungerford Hill Cellar Door, it was handpicked and ‘wild’ fermented with natural yeast in older barriques; adding fabulous texture and weight to the quince and lime aromas.

Reviews

Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion : 90 Points

Hand-picked, wild yeast, full solids barrel fermented in old oak, on lees for 8 months in barrel, bottle-aged before release. Gingersnap biscuits, bruised apple, nettles, dried herbs. This steely, savoury vermentino comes with an interesting take on the grape. It’s built like a traditional Hunter semillon with a touch of texture and acidity to burn in its youth.

About Hungerford Hill

The history of Hungerford is long and complex, but it’s most recent chapter began in December 2016 when Sam Arnaout purchased the winery. He had visions of a Hungerford Hill with a greater focus on Hunter Valley wines, so he also acquired the renowned Sweetwater and Dalwood vineyards. With an award-winning cellar door, restaurant and range of wines, Hungerford Hill is now in the enviable position of being able to offer an all-encompassing wine and food experience worthy of its name.

We have two tasting experiences at Hungerford Hill. The Guided Tasting is $10pp. Our knowledgeable staff will talk to you through a selection of wine based on your interests and desires in wine.

The Epic Tasting Experience is $60pp and is designed for the discerning palate. It features a mini-degustation of Hungerford Hill wines matched to bite-sized dishes created by award-winning two hatted Muse Restaurant.

Daily 10am – 5pm *Closed Christmas Day

Hungerford Hill

Established in 1967, Hungerford Hill is a boutique estate in the Hunter Valley. Australia’s oldest wine region.

Hungerford Hill has a proud reputation for producing distinguished wines and providing a memorable cellar door experience. Guided by accomplished Winemaker Bryan Currie, Hungerford Hill’s able team produce authentic wines, packed with character and interest, with a focus on New South Wales’ cool climate regions.
In early December 2016 Sam Arnaout purchased Hungerford Hill and will continue the focus on the NSW regions of the Hunter Valley, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. Sam’s vision for Hungerford Hill is to have a much greater focus on the Hunter Valley. To further this goal in 2016 he purchased the renowned Sweetwater vineyard and property near Belford, and the former Wyndham Estate property including the vineyard and winery buildings at Dalwood. The historic Dalwood house is located on the property and is owned by the National Trust. Hungerford Hill’s winery is a landmark of the Hunter Valley region, with its unique barrel-shaped tasting room and underground working cellar. The much acclaimed Muse Restaurant offers some of the finest food in the Valley amidst spectacular views across the vineyards to the Brokenback Ranges.
