Thinking of 4-5 days in the Hunter Valley mid May. Been 20+ years since last visit. Looking for recommendations for wineries and dinners. Probably staying at Chateau Elan or Spicers.
Good list.I'd try to do a bit of a mix of the big and small producers, some random thoughts (mostly pre-covid based) below;

Deer farm is bad, light in favour, estate is better this one. sparkling good,bubble is a lot but not fine. fresh,apple,little nutty,it is big. it is still young and has long way to go.
It may be just this bottle, too many factors to affect the wine. It could be the whole barrel is bad. All the wine I drank within 2 nights.Interesting comments about the Deer Farm. I've had a few bottles of the 2019 and thought it was really good. A definite step up from the estate PN. I wonder if 2020 wasn't a great vintage or perhaps just an average bottle?
Yep lovely wine, think it's still got time to go though? Might revisit another bottle, I think the old vines really sing through with those charcuterie-esque notes on this drop.One of the best Aussie Grenache I had, right in its drinking window I reckon.
