In the glass: Deep, dark red. On the nose: Cassis, spearmint and cedar oak.On the palate: A younger-drinking style that is dry, earthy and savoury with touches of cedar, bay leaf and white pepper, fine tannin foundation and hints of baked earth on the dry, savoury finish.

Margan Albarino is naturally high in acid and has ripe fruit flavours at lower levels of ripeness.This combination produces a fruit driven wine with great acid finish that needs no oak or residual sugar. The variety has a natural saltiness to it that makes it a fantastic food match.

Floral fruit in youth, moving towards biscuity characters with age. A generally softer bodied palate with smoother acids than the Vat 1 and Belford Semillons.

Bouquet of citrus and lime, hint of baked bread. Elegant, tangy fruit, richness. Clean and crisp.

Subtle lemon sorbet with grapefruit pith and a touch of lavender and bath salts. It’s a slow burn to start with but aromatic intensity builds in this wine as it throws off the shackles of extreme youth and the effects of bottling. It’s all about purity here with the citrus and minerals compressed into a tight and also empirical form, crystalline almost with detail and depth in a very focused space. The entry leads with refined lemon drops but grows to full volume expression, lemon, grapefruit and the most composed yet persistent acidity with a long and silky finish, Resonant Tension. The clarity of vineyard and variety arriving with precise detail and harmony.

The 2019 Silkman Estate Semillon is clean fresh and modern. The nose is full of lemon, pink grapefruit and fresh cut hay. The palate reflects the nose with citrus and a touch of salinity. This wine will age well and pairs perfectly with a roast chicken.

Tasting Notes: Great example of classic Hunter Valley Semillon. Refreshing lime and herbaceous flavours with underlying toasty honey characters starting to develop. Still aging very well with many years to come. Analysis: - Alcohol: 11.5% - pH: 3.11 - TA: 8.0.

A premium example of a Hunter Semillon that drinks beautifully as a young Semillon but will turn into an aged beauty with careful cellaring. Fresh citrus with a subtle minerality.

This delightful young Hunter Semillon is the perfect summer wine. Grown in the Hunter Valley, this wine has a fresh tropical nose which combines with a gentle citrus tingle on the palate. Great length and structure allows this wine to be enjoyed in it's youth, or it will develop into an aged beauty with careful cellaring.
