[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]History of the Hunter Valley Wine Region[/FONT]

[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the years immediately after European Settlement, the rich agricultural land along the Hunter Valley was quickly developed to supply the nearby settlement of Sydney. In the early days of Colonial New South Wales considerable effort was made to find a commercial crop to move the colony from being entirely dependent on its status as an offshore prison. Viticulture was an obvious choice as the product was easily exported to the mother country. Under the influence of James Busby the Hunter Region became the focus of the emerging wine industry after the 1820s. [/FONT]
