Wine-tasting, Mudgee, Tourism New South Wales

Population 8248

Mudgee derives its name from the Wiradjuri word 'moothi', meaning 'nest in the hills'. The name is apt as the town is situated among green and blue hills in the Cudgegong River Valley. Mudgee is graced with wide streets and historic Victorian buildings and is the centre of the Mudgee Wine Region, one of the largest winegrowing regions in Australia. Local produce features heavily in town and includes fresh silver perch, yabbies, venison, lamb, asparagus, summer berries, peaches and hazelnuts.

Mudgee wine region Just over the Great Dividing Range from the famous Hunter, but here the sun is brighter, the nights are colder, and there is less rainfall (what a difference a mountain range can make). These conditions are ideal for the region’s specialty, cabernet sauvignon, with shiraz a close second. Winemaking here began in 1858, kick-started by three German families. One of the original wineries continues today under the name Poet’s Corner. The cellar door also represents Montrose, one of the largest wineries in the region and one of the first in Australia to plant Italian varieties such as sangiovese, barbera and nebbiolo. Huntington Estate makes splendid cabernet sauvignon and hosts the annual Huntington Estate Music Festival. Botobolar was one of the first organic vineyards in the country.
