🍷 Appearance
-
Bright lemon-to-pale straw colour with youthful clarity, even after years in bottle.
👃 Aromas (Nose)
-
Lifted citrus aromatics — think lemon and lime zest — typical of Hunter Valley Semillon.
-
Subtle herbaceous notes with gentle floral hints as the wine has matured.
-
With several years in bottle, toasty and honey-ed nuances start to emerge, adding complexity beyond the fresh fruit.
👅 Palate (Taste)
-
Crisp lime and citrus flavours are still present on the palate, balanced by a refined acidity that keeps the wine fresh.
-
The extended aging has fostered toasty honey characters and subtle richness, giving the Semillon a more layered profile than when young.
🍈 Texture & Finish
-
Relatively light–medium body with keen acidity that maintains lift through the finish.
-
The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus peel and developing savoury complexity.
🍇 Overall Style
-
A classic Hunter Valley Semillon with age, showcasing a lively citrus core that has evolved to include toasty, honeyed, herb-accented notes — a delightful example of how Semillon gains character with bottle age.
