Mem Hemmings
Mem Hemmings is a British-born, Hunter Valley-based winemaker whose Meredith label – launched from the 2022 vintage – makes natural wines from lesser-known NSW regions with a no-additions philosophy, low-impact packaging and a set of ethical commitments that run all the way from grower relationships to how the wine arrives at your door. The current range spans a cabernet sauvignon rosé, a chardonnay amber – made with nine months of skin contact – a chenin blanc, a sparkling riesling, a light red blend and wines available in 250ml recyclable cans and 25-litre refillable kegs. Fruit comes from vineyards across the Hunter Valley, Orange, Hilltops, Tumbarumba and Gundagai. Meredith is a small label with a clear voice, and that voice is increasingly hard to ignore.
