IN 1983 NSW had 76 wine producers and today it has almost 500, with more than 370 cellar doors, making it our second largest wine province after South Australia.
This growth was evinced in the recent 2022 NSW Wine Awards featuring the familiar semillon, shiraz, chardonnay, riesling, cabernet sauvignon, gewrztraminer and merlot entries and such exciting alternate varieties as montepulciano, nebbiolo, chenin blanc, graciano, vermentino, sangiovese, tempranillo and barbera.
