Semillon loves the sandy soil by the Hunter river.
Winemaking could not be simplier for this wine.
Crushed, fermented and bottled asap to retained all the citrus, lime and lemongrass character.
No oak involved whatsoever.
The wine is a thirst quencher for sure, but holding on this wine can only reward you greatly.
Great value for the wine.
I understand it is not a wine for everyone, but wine people should acknowledge the uniqueness of this wine and the link with Hunter Valley.
Hunter semillon is the real gift from Australia to the wine world.
Btw you can drink this easily in 10 years and this might be on a shelf for less than 30 bucks here in Australia.
..tons of producers do this, i am sure you will find which one you prefer.

Very smooth. Bit of fizz on the finish. Quite buttery. Great with chicken.

It's pleasant but lacks character. Closed on both nose and palate. Seems overly restrained.
