Sydney Morning Herald reviews the Hunter River White

Greg Duncan-Powell raves about Tulloch's new release 2008 Hunter River White.

"It would be easy to dismiss this as yet another white blend but it's different. There's a smidgen of chardonnay and some verdelho aromatics but it's the lean, clean Hunter semillon that dominates and gives spine, structure, elegance and a food versatility."
