TASTING NOTES FOR Brokenwood Semillon Hunter Valley New South Wales 2022

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with luminous green tints. Bright, youthful and crystal clear in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and vibrant, showing lemon zest, lime and fresh citrus.
Hints of lemongrass, green apple and subtle floral notes add classic Hunter Valley character.

👅 Palate
Light-bodied yet intensely flavoured, delivering lemon, lime and green apple with precision.
The palate is crisp and focused, driven by bright natural acidity and a clean, citrus core.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Crisp and mouthwatering with a fine, linear structure.
The finish is long and zesty, with lingering citrus, minerality and a refreshing acid line that defines the style.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Hunter Valley Semillon—fresh, pure and built to age.
In its youth it’s all about citrus and acidity, but with time it will develop honeyed, toasty complexity while retaining remarkable freshness.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh oysters, prawns, grilled fish or light Asian dishes.
Also excellent with goat’s cheese or simple summer salads.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A benchmark Australian white—clean, precise and seriously refreshing.
A must-have for mixed dozens, offering immediate drinking pleasure now and excellent cellaring potential for those who can wait.

Cheers
