Green apple, lemon zest, walnut skin, smoke, lentil, and beeswax. Searing acidity. Called it a Hunter Semillon in a blind tasting, ugh. Never would have expected it to be of 14% alcohol!

Just fantastic. Golden hue with nice acid and a rounded finish. Could drink this all day long.

Cement tank fermented, the fruit and acid take a back seat to the beautiful minerality

Thought may be sliding down but not so, nicely balanced and interesting profile great with several dinners.

Honey and melon with a tart finish. Mandarin and cantaloupe. Pairing with burrata and terrine de campagne.
