Evans Family operates in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, where warm days and cool nights shape the character of the region's signature wines. The winery focuses on Shiraz, the dark-skinned variety that thrives in Hunter Valley's continental climate. Their Shiraz reaches an average prestige rating of 89, while the Howard Shiraz sits at 86. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator.
