HILLTOPS 2025 VINTAGE PREVIEW

The vignerons in NSW Hilltops are out of the blocks right on schedule for the 2025 Vintage. According to Brian Freeman 2025 is most definitely an ‘ON’ year. That’s code for a good productive year with pleasing yields of top-quality grapes, especially the white varieties chardonnay, pinot gris and prosecco.

The even dry conditions are ideally suited to shiraz, the red variety best adjusted to continual stretches of rain free, warm days. So, drum roll, expect top quality 2025 Hilltops Shiraz.

All the red varieties coloured early and if the current warm stable conditions and cool nights prevail wine lovers can expect memorable cabernets, tempranillo and too the slightly later ripening  newer breed Italian varietal red wines.

In fact, if February’s long extended summer rolls on, some vignerons are predicting an extremely condensed harvest period – all over in not much longer than a month. Provided of course the weather gods stay kind and the BOM radar is in sync.
