Aaron Mercer's new self-named venture is going from strength to strength, and is delivering some exceptional wines from across NSW.Pale lemon. Citrus, stonefruit and hints of almond bread. Restrained and light-bodied with a fresh mix of peach, pear and lime zest, refreshing acidity, zippy mouthfeel and hints of glazed ginger on the dry finish. An uncomplicated early-drinker.

This Semillon from a sustainably farmed vineyard in the Hunter Valley region was hand picked from 40 year old Semillon vines. The grapes were then fermented with skins, pressed, and barrel aged for 3 months in old Chardonnay French oak. There was no additions, fining or filtration of the wine when bottled. The result is a textural, juicy wine with a zesty dry finish, with flavours of mandarin marmalade and a hint of lemon.

This classic Hunter Semillon offers a lively citrus and talc-infused nose, with refreshing grapefruit and minerality on the palate. Its zesty acidity harmonises with the distinct mineral core, creating an elegant and refreshing wine that epitomises the Hunter Valley's winemaking tradition in every sip.

Hunter Valley Semillon is lean and racy in its youth but develops texture and complexity with age. It also will reflect the origins of where it is grown. This one is planted on the dolerite soils of the Fordwich Sill which leaves its footprint by way of a richer and softer wine with more palate weight in its youth, as opposed to Semillon grown on grey clay or alluvial soils.

A crisp, citrus driven Semillon, a true representation of the Hunter Valley classic.

This wine has rich tropical fruit characters with a long, lingering finish.

Allandale from the Hunter Valley produce a lovely Chardonnay that has a great full body to it with nuances of peach and apricot and nice level of complexity due to the new American and French oak employed.

In the glass: Fine straw with a faint hint of green.On the nose: A super-ripe mix of nectarine, melon and fig with fine oak spice. On the palate: A very smartly made expression of Chardonnay thats super-ripe, fresh and crisp throughout with velvety soft texture and deluxe oak harmony.
