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.

Winemaker's Selection Vat 1 Semillon only ever comes from the oldest and best blocks. The vines are all dry grown on their own roots, and date back to 1923.

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.

De Iuiis Hunter Valley Semillon has lifted tropical fruits and citrus characters that dominate the aroma, while excellent natural acidity adds balance and length of flavour.

Classic lemon and lime zestiness balanced by fleshier citrus fruit on the palate. Elegant, fresh finish.

From red clay soils this is a more generous take on Hunter Valley Semillon. Nicely textured with lime and lemon intensity, some zesty freshness, and a long finish and lifted herbaceous characters.
