Eclectic Wines

This is the venture of Paul and Kate Stuart, nominally based in the Hunter Valley, where they live and have a vineyard planted to shiraz and mourvedre; ‘nominally', because Paul's 30+ years in the wine industry have given him the marketing knowledge to sustain the purchase of grapes from various regions, including Canberra. He balances the production of his own wines under the Eclectic label while also acting as an independent marketing and sales consultant to other producers, selling his clients' wine in different markets from those in which he sells his own. Exports to The Netherlands, Taiwan and China. -JAMES HALLIDAY
