HUNTER VALLEY LEGENDS
Greg Walls has been involved in the Hunter Wine business for nearly 40 years and proudly declares "Wine is in my blood!" tracing his family history in wine back some 408 years - that's right the year 1610 in Burgundy and from where else but that a little known region Vosne Romanee. In vinus terms, you could not ask for a better heritage and inheritance.
For the last 38 years, Greg has made it his business taking wine from the Hunter Valley to every region of Australia.
He did this through his establishment of the Hunter Valley Wine Society in 1975, later evolving the business to Wine Selectors, which now delivers Hunter wines to a nationwide membership of more than 200,000.
His business, Wine Selectors has grown in stature, providing quality and consistency, service and commitment to our collective brand ‘Wine Hunter’. A measure of commitment to Wine Australia and Wine Hunter was underlined some years ago when we drowned in New Zealand Savvy but this business refused to toe the collective retail line and in fact refused to sell or stock a single bottle of this Kiwi invader. They bravely continued to promote existing Australian Dry White championed by of course, Hunter Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho.
Greg Walls was inducted as a Hunter Valley Living Legend in 2018.
