Tight and refreshing with bright acidity and a lightly waxy texture. The finish is clean, mineral and persistent, with lingering citrus zest and freshness.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Hunter Valley Semillon—light, crisp and citrus-driven in its youth, with the potential to develop toasty, honeyed complexity with bottle age.
