2024 Hungerford Hill Classic Sauvignon Blanc, Tumbarumba

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. Drink now.

95 points (Special Value) Toni Paterson for Halliday Wine Companion, December 2024

Uber pale, almost water white colour. Lemon zest and cut grass aromatics. Zippy and fresh on entry, lime and lemon curd, grassy notes and a seaspray note all meld well with a vibrant net of acidity keeping it focused and clean to the end. Fresh and vibrant drinking. Drink to 2028.

Hungerford Hill is a Hunter Valley based winery established in 1967. Their offer has slowly grown to take in the Hilltops and Tumbarumba regions of NSW, while the presence in the Hunter has grown through purchases of Sweetwater and Dalwood. The three names remain distinct but share the expertise of Hungerford Hill’s viticultural and winemaking teams.

Current Chief Winemaker is Pierre Durand, who has worked at many of the biggest local names, including Tyrrell’s, Brokenwood and Margan.
