New South Wales Winemakers

Australia is humming with talented winemakers. While regions such as the Barossa Valley and the Yarra Valley gain a lot of attention, New South Wales also offers unique growing conditions. Sydney Cove boasts the very first location of grape growing in Australia(*1). The Hunter Valley is one of the most well-known wine-growing regions in the state.

The Wine Region of Orange, NSW

Orange is located 255km west of Sydney in central NSW. This prestigious region is cool and surrounded by rich volcanic soil from Mount Canabolas(*2,3). The elevation of the region is what drives fresher temperatures and breezes. In addition to grapes, the region is well known for cheese, fungi, and fruits such as apples(*2).
