Hungerford Hill: 50+ Years of Hunter Valley Excellence Now at Cellars.com.au

Get ready for something special! Cellars.com.au has just welcomed an impressive collection from Hungerford Hill, one of the Hunter Valley’s most legendary wineries with over 50 years of winemaking excellence. This isn’t just any wine collection – it’s a comprehensive showcase of New South Wales’ finest wine regions, crafted by one of Australia’s most accomplished winemaking teams.

Why Hungerford Hill Commands Respect

Since 1967, Hungerford Hill has been synonymous with quality Australian wine. Located at the first winery on Broke Road – the Hunter’s main tourist route – this boutique estate has built an extraordinary reputation under the guidance of Bryan Currie, one of Australia’s most decorated winemakers. Bryan’s achievements speak volumes: nominated for ‘Winemaker of the Year’ by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine, selected as a ‘Future Leader’, and a distinguished Len Evans Tutorial scholar.

What sets Hungerford Hill apart is their unique approach to regional diversity. While their home is in the world-famous Hunter Valley, they source premium fruit from three of New South Wales’ most exciting cool-climate regions: Hunter Valley, Hilltops, and Tumbarumba. This multi-regional strategy allows them to showcase the best each area has to offer.

Hunter Valley Heritage Selections

Hungerford Hill Sparkling Dalliance Tumbarumba 2022 (6 Bottles)
This sparkling wine comes from the alpine region of Tumbarumba, where the elevation and cool climate create perfect conditions for elegant bubbles. Made using traditional methods from premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this is serious Australian sparkling wine that rivals anything from Champagne at a fraction of the price.

Hungerford Hill Classic Cabernet Malbec 2022 (6 Bottles)
A brilliant expression from the Hilltops region, this blend showcases two varieties that complement each other beautifully. The Cabernet provides structure and blackcurrant intensity, while Malbec adds plush texture and dark berry richness. At this price point, it’s exceptional value for premium Australian red wine.
