First created by Maurice O'Shea in 1953 to honour the inaugural visit of a reigning monarch to Australia, Philip was officially released alongside Elizabeth in 1968. Launched during a pivotal era for Australian wine, it quickly found favour with wine lovers and has remained celebrated for decades. Distinctive in character, Philip has stood apart as a wine not dominated by tannin or alcohol, but defined by its balance and earthy fruit characters. Using fruit from our vineyards, this vintage reveals an intense palate of vibrant fruits with a fine tannin structure. Classically medium bodied, it exhibits true Hunter regionality with beautifully balanced acidity and length, carrying the elegance for which this style is renowned.
