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

Lemony, 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

Amazing nose - grassy, waxy, cheesy, fresh and mature at the same time - but the palate doesn't quite match it - more about the acidity than the flavours.

Another great Semillon. Probably one of my favorite white grapes. @brokenwood @old_beidge
