This is a first class Hunter Semillon that is just entering into the prime of its life. With the development of Aged Hunter Semillon characters this wine is a true Classic.

The bouquet that greets the nose shows fruitful lemon zest aroma whilst being further complexed with the development of some Aged Semillon influences. Lanolin, buttered toast and nutty characters are adding further integrity to the bouquet.

The palate retains a youthful acid line providing this wine with considerable length and a tight structure. Having had time in bottle, the wine is beginning to display a toasty bottle aged complexity that is synonymous with older Hunter Semillons.

Drinking Recommendations:

Now showing some aged characters this wine is much more available to a wider range of Menu’s. Carrying a fuller palate we suggest fresh lobster tail with a light cream sauce served with pan fried scallops and aioli dressing .

Cellaring:

This wine has plenty of life left in it. Sealed under Stelvin we will see consistent, slow aging for the next 10+ years.
