"A 100% Sémillon straight from Australia—floral and aromatic—perfect for drinking now or cellaring!"
“It’s hard to believe that a wine with such vibrant, crisp pear, starfruit, and fresh herbs has less than 11% alcohol. The body is very slender and the finish is quite firm, but the fruit really shines through! Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2022) • Screw cap

About the wine:
In a region where climatic variations are as pronounced as they are in the Hunter Valley, the vintage matters. In 2022, rainfall was abundant and the harvest was late. The result is a lively, aromatic Sémillon that serves as an excellent, affordable introduction to this unique style. It features notes of candied lemon, beeswax, lamp oil, white spices, and dried herbs. The palate is round and textured, with lively acidity. Floral, citrus, and spicy notes blossom on the finish. A summer wine to enjoy with seafood or crumbly cheeses.
