Vibrant in color, with generous luminous green hues. Lovely floral and apple blossom aromas grace the nose. Mouth filling flavors of key lime, green apple and lemon zest balance the racy acid backbone. These flavors linger on for quite some time, finishing the quintessential Hunter Valley Semillon to enjoy now or age gracefully.

This 2023 Semillon is such a delight. There are notions of cold buttered toast and creamed honey, honeysuckle, crushed shells, green apple skins, layers of brine and chalky phenolics, fresh/warm lawn clippings and just a lovely curve of saline acidity. What a joy. What pleasure. It will age well too, I'll bet.  Drink 2023-2035

From the historic Hunter Valley, this Semillon is light, fresh and crisp, with green apple and citrus characters flanked by tomato leaf, white and bell pepper notes. There's a lovely textural element to the palate, which jives well with the tongue-tingling acidity. Pair with a summer salad or fish and chips. -C.P.

The first 2023 tasted. Relaxed for a younger semillon, borne of the first temperate vintage in some time following a duo of cooler La Nina years. Scents of jasmine, Granny Smith slushy and spiced nashi pear. Featherweight wine. Low in alcohol. Transparent and highly regional. This will age well, as its stellar track record attests.
