Home to the country’s first commercial vineyards, it is a region defined by its deep heritage and incredible diversity. From the humid, coastal valleys that produced the first great Australian whites to the high-altitude, continental climates of the Great Dividing Range, New South Wales offers a style for every palate—often with a focus on elegance and \"Old World\" structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe undisputed crown jewel of the state is the \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"47\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eHunter Valley\u003c\/b\u003e.

When young, these wines are incredibly crisp and zesty, but with age, they transform into something extraordinary—toasty, complex, and rich, all without ever seeing a splinter of oak. Alongside these whites, Hunter \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"376\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eShiraz\u003c\/b\u003e is celebrated for its medium-bodied, savory grace, often drawing comparisons to the fine reds of the Northern Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eFurther inland and much higher up, the regions of \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"50\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eOrange\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"61\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eMudgee\u003c\/b\u003e are redefining the state's reputation.

As Chief Winemaker, Maurice went on to make some of Australia’s greatest wines and his reputation stands as the grandfather of Australian wine and a pioneer of the industry. Planted by Maurice O’Shea in 1946, the Lovedale site is a true viticultural marvel. Having been considered completely inhospitable for growing vines, O’Shea recognised this section of sandy ancient sea-bed for its true potential. He saw its suitability for growing exceptional ‘Chablis-style’ wines and today Lovedale produces some of the most expressive and elegant Semillon in the world. Expressive aromas of lemon, lime and concentrated lemongrass are layered with delicate floral overtones.
