ILR is Brokenwoods flagship Semillon showing concentrated lemon curd, toast and honey notes with superb depth and intensity of flavour supported by a spine of lemony acidity. It is named in honour of managing director-chief winemaker Iain Leslie Riggs. The grapes are hand harvested, crushed, chilled and pressed immediately. Brokenwood inoculates with neutral yeast for fermentation in inert stainless steel. In typical Hunter style, there is no malolactic fermentation or oak influence. A style capable of long ageing, the ILR is only released after five years of bottle age.

A very famous old property within the region of Sauternes that has been rejuvenated over the past 20 years with the introduction of the Narby family from Canada. The rich and voluptuous wines are now matured in 60% new oak and the results are for all to see with wines of great complexity, harmony and elegance.

Released with bottle age this is a wine which will still continue to evolve over many years the toasty lemony flavours becoming richer and more intense. A classic benchmark Hunter Semillon, it has earned its place in the Langtons Classification of Australian Wine.

Brokenwood ILR Reserve Semillon is a brilliant example of the classic Hunter Valley Style. Glorious toast and almond bread characters with flavours of honey and a nutty finish. Will age for what seems like an age.

Mount Pleasant 1946 Vines Lovedale Vineyard Hunter Valley Semillon Made from vines that Mount Pleasants founder, Maurice OShea, planted in 1946, the fruit for this Hunter classic is picked early in the day when its cool and only 500 Litres per tonne of the finest free run juice is then fermented and matured in stainless steel prior to bottling. The result is a wine that, while delicate and restrained in its youth, becomes richer and more complex over time while retaining its freshness due to the perfect balance of fruit and acidity.
