Brokenwood
Oakey Creek Sémillon
Medium lemon color with pronounced aromas of fresh toast, lemon curd, straw, blossom and beeswax. High acidity with toast, beery malt, lemon and a hint of coconut continuing on the long finish. A striking, unique wine that would be terrific with grilled fish, smoked fish, lobster and scallops. With this much age it’s bit robust for oysters, but younger, more lemony, versions would be beautiful with bivalves

Aug 23rd, 2018Lemony, funky, cheesy-leesy. High acid and viscous. Sounds like Chenin? Nope, Aussie semillon. Caught me off guard but glad to put it on the radar #brokenwood
