Hunter Valley winemaker optimistic about vintage

A Hunter Valley vigneron is excited about this year’s wine vintage, but warns that forecast dry conditions could pose issues for winemakers. It may have been a long, cold winter in the NSW Hunter Valley, but that hasn’t stopped the region’s vignerons from working tirelessly to ensure the next year’s wine vintage is a ‘corker’. Winemakers are currently pruning their dormant vines to ensure growth is ideal when the warm weather arrives.
