Wines from "New England Australia" in the New England and north-west regions will be featured in the NSW State Government's next Regional Food and Wine Showcase at Parliament House in Sydney in May.
The new wine region is one of Australia's largest at 27,000 square kilometres. It is already home to 42 vineyards and boasts a diversity of growing conditions, from high altitude, cool climate vineyards along the spine of the Great Dividing Range to lower and warmer growing sites on the western edges of the New England Tablelands.
The region has a long history of wine making, dating back to the 1950s, when the Wyndham family established vineyards near Inverell to provide red wine for their Hunter Valley cellar.
