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.

It is made from estate-grown fruit from the Audrey Wilkinson property. Alcohol: 11%. Closure: screw cap. Date tasted: August 2024. Drink: 2024-2026. Rating: 95/100.
