Fiano is a rare white grape variety that is well matched to the cool climate of Hilltops, near Young, NSW. Fiano produces a refreshing wine with mandarin and fresh garden herb aromatics, the palate is textural and defined by lingerring lemon acidity.

“Punchy, fragrant and full-flavoured with gorgeous acid tension and a whisper of spice. High-toned passionfruit and green mango flavours with lingering pink grapefruit notes on the close. The wine has excellent weight and texture and will win people over with its sheer deliciousness.95pts, Great Value” (Toni Paterson, The Halliday Wine Companion). 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" says Bryan. This Sauvignon proves he's got his head brilliantly around the potential of the region.

Pinot Noir 60%, Sangiovese 28%, Shiraz 12% All the individual varieties were fermented separately in small 2 tonne parcels. The fruit was 100% destemmed and pressed after 18 days on skins. The Pinot Noir and Sangiovese were blended together immediately after pressing and the Shiraz shortly after to ensure a longer period of time for the varieties to integrate.

Nick Spencer describes this drop as "Tumbarumba in a bottle". A great example of the region's chardonnay, Nick believes that the 2018 vintage has produced some of the best fruit he has seen in the past decade. Vibrant green apple and white peach aromas linger on the nose, with slight crushed rock notes. Beautifully restrained power in the palate, subtle complexity and a devine length. Smashing drop!The fruit comes from Tumbarumba. Nick has made Chardonnay from this region for a decade now, he believes that the vintage has produced some of the best fruit he has seen. This doesn't have the flashy oak and sulphide aspects which often characterised his critically acclaimed Chardonnays at Eden Road, this is a gentler, more streamlined version of the variety which showcases the purity of fruit from this cool nsw region.

Modern Australian Chardonnay is revolutionising the varietal, and this single vineyard Tumbarumba is a prime example. Experience lifted grapefruit, honeydew melon and lemon zest aromas on the nose. The wine is bright with flavours of green apple, lime and creamy cashew notes on the middle palate. The finish is long and refined with a lovely driving line of acidity.

Clean, crisp and dry but much more textural than the standard Fiano. A great example of careful skin contact displaying lemon pith and complex white tannins.
