Pale straw with a light green hue. Bright, fresh and youthful in the glass.

Lifted and vibrant, showing lemon zest, lime and fresh citrus.
Notes of lemongrass, ginger and delicate spring blossom add aromatic complexity.
👅 Palate
Light to medium-bodied and beautifully focused, delivering crisp lemon, lime and green apple flavours.
Fresh citrus intensity is supported by tight, vibrant acidity, giving the wine precision and energy.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Finely textured with a clean, mouth-watering line of acidity.
The finish is long and refreshing, with citrus and mineral notes lingering in harmony.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Semillon—fresh, zesty and elegantly structured.
Designed for early drinking but with the ability to develop toasty, honeyed complexity with cellaring.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, grilled fish, prawns, fresh salads or light chicken dishes. Also excellent with soft cheeses.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A crisp, vibrant Semillon that delivers freshness, purity and excellent drinkability.
A standout for mixed dozens where you want a refreshing white with real character—or a smart addition to straight dozens for lovers of classic Aussie styles.
