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.

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.
