At the time of this recording, I’m in the heart of the Hunter Valley, right in the middle of vintage. Despite a few close calls with wet weather leading up to picking, there’s an air of optimism in the region. It’s the perfect time to reconnect with a true Hunter Valley icon and explore what makes this place so special.

Longtime listeners might remember my earlier conversation with Bruce Tyrrell—a name synonymous with the Hunter Valley and Australian wine. If you need a refresher on the incredible Tyrrells story, check out Episode 8 of Season 1. I was lucky enough to catch Bruce again for a quick chat just before he headed into the lab to taste samples. As always, time flew by in his company.

The Hunter Valley might not always chase the spotlight, but it holds a unique and treasured place as the spiritual home of Australian wine. This is where the country’s wine story began, and that story is far from over. Few people are better qualified to share the next chapter than Bruce Tyrrell himself.

A huge thanks to Bruce for joining me once again.
