Hunter Valley Sémillon
Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Looking for a reasonable house wine ? No brainer . Floral , citrus and vibrant. I’m sure age would bring complexity.

Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with herb notes from young vines. On the palate flavors of lemon and peach with herb and honey notes. Lively acidity, medium+ finish ending with citrus and spice. Nice!

Probably drinking this too young but it has the body and zip and gravel moves that make me a Sémillon lover

A classic for a reason. Lemony, steely and incredibly focussed. Refreshing and light at 10.5% alcohol.

Rather good with grass, green apple, pear. Sustains well with a slight saline quality. Very attractive Semillon from Hunter Valley in Australia. #wbc18

Crisp lemon and toast on the nose and very well balanced in the mouth. It's very youthful and needs more time but still enjoyable now with vibrant acidity and those lively toast notes

A rare treat to find in the USA & a perfect partner to sautéed baby broccoli. #HunterValley #Semillon #Australia

Pale yellow. Lively lemon, grapefruit pith and pear scents show fine definition and pick up dusty mineral and floral accents with aeration. Silky and taut on the palate, showing fine clarity and cut to the juicy, mineral-laced citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Puts on weight with air and finishes very long and nervy, with lingering citrus fruit and succulent herb qualities. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2022)
