Hilltops is an Australian wine region of southern New South Wales, lying 130 kilometers (80 mi) northwest of Canberra. One of Australia's youngest wine regions, it is centered around the towns of Boorowa, Young and Harden, and the evocatively titled village of Wombat.
Shiraz and Syrah are alternate names for the same (in DNA terms) dark-skinned grape variety which originated in the Rhône and dominates plantings in the valley's northern section. The Shiraz name is used in Australia and selected pockets of the New World, usually with warmer climates. Stylistic differences are usually pronounced and explain the enduring dual identities.
