Light-bodied and zesty with refreshing acidity. The finish is long and clean, with citrus persistence and early hints of honeyed, toasty complexity typical of bottle-aged Semillon.

A classic Hunter Valley Semillon—fresh, low-alcohol and built to age. With time, it develops signature honeyed and toasty characters while maintaining a bright citrus backbone.
