Australia became known as a wine drinking nation in the 1970s, and our national love affair with wine continues. Yet Australian winegrowing is as old as European Australia. While the Hunter Valley is not the ideal place to grow grapes climatically, it's the only Australian wine region planted in the nineteenth century to continuously host vineyards. Hunter Wine profiles the people, history and technology that have shaped the region's wine from vine to glass, including families like the Wyndhams, McWilliams, Lindemans and Tyrrells. It traces the evolution of Hunter winegrowing, and its winegrowers, from frontier violence in the 1820s and early British and German-born wine producers, to the development of large-scale vineyards and wineries in the early twentieth century, and the new style Hunter wines produced since the 1960s and 70s.
