How privileged am I to be able to walk through the vineyard and taste the flavour in the fruit right off the vine. Magnifique! Anthony Johnston Ogilvies Expresso Bar |

Hunter Wine Show - Two Rivers 2006 Hidden Hive Verdelho Hunter Wine Show judges seldom award gold medals to verdelho, but this one from the Upper Hunter Inglewood Vineyard struck gold in the 2007 show's 2006 verdelho dry white class. It's a wine that would go nicely with spring rolls, ham and cheese omelette or chicken Caesar salad. It is light gold with olive green tints and has jasmine scents. Ripe tangelo flavour shows on the front of the palate and passionfruit and subtle honey and toast characters chime in the middle palate. Smooth flinty acid comes through at the finish. It can be bought in wine stores and from the recently opened Two Rivers Cellar Door in Yarrawa Road, Denman. Ageing: 2 years. Rating: 4.5 stars John Lewis Newcastle Herald 24.08.07
Gourmet Traveller 2005 Stones Throw Semillon Made by talented Jim Chatto at Monarch, this inexpensive Upper Hunter semillon is tremendous value for money. It offers all the subtle lime/lemon and herbal aromas and crisp palate intensity you'd expect of top-line semillon. The colour retains some green tinges, and the palate is refined and crisp, nicely poised and easy to drink. It has good persistence and seamless texture. It drinks well young but will no doubt age gracefully for several years. Huon Hooke Gourmet Traveller December 2005

Epicure Uncorked - The Age- 2004 Lightning Strike Chardonnay The Two Rivers wines from the Upper Hunter Valley are well-princed in the scheme of things. This Chardonnay is a fruit-driven style of straightforward personality with simple, light, melony fruit that's juicy and fresh. Oak is barely perceptible and bracing acidity keeps it together with a clean tang. Ralph Kyte-Powell Epicure Uncorked The Age July 26, 2005
Good Living - 2004 Hidden Hive Verdelho Bargain of the Week 2004 Two Rivers Hidden Hive Verdelho Typical Hunter Valley Verdelho musk powderppuff aromoas: estery, clean and attractive, with a touch of sweetness which will give it broad appeal. There's no great depth of flavour but it's aromatic and easy-going. Huon Hooke The Sydney Morning Herald - Good Living Section February 22, 2005
Wine of the Week: 2004 Hidden Hive Verdelho "Delectable amalgam of passionfruit and citrus characters, leading to a refreshing Hunter Valley expression of tropical flavours." John Fordham Wine of the Week / The Sunday Telegraph February 6, 2005
Bargain Buy: 2003 Winters Mist Merlot "This greatly textured, medium bodied dry red has good itensity of plummy merlot fruit on the soft palate. And there is plenty of savoury oak to balance the well-handled acid. This could even benefit from a light chilling if being enjoyed al fresco during the summer. A good match for pork stir fry or pork spareribs, veal chops or good old bangers 'n mash. The Hunter is renowned for Shiraz, but this is another indication that the region also producers decent budget-priced merlot." Jeff Collerson The Daily Telegraph January 5, 2005
