Is anything more heartwarming than snuggling up with a good red on a Winter's night? We think not! It is with this in mind that we give you our annual Big Red Issue. Australia's red grapes are among its greatest assets – after all, who could imagine a world without classic Australian Shiraz? The world's classic premium red grape varieties are abundant in the Hunter Valley, where some of the oldest vines and most prominent names in Australian wine can be found. This month we navigate the red wines of the Hunter Valley and take a tour of the best of the best on page 28. You can also shop the best online by scanning the QR codes provided.
