Mount Pleasant Wines
Lovedale Hunter Valley Sémillon
Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Bright mid yellow. Citrus with wet straw, lanolin and a faint paraffin note. On the palate such purity with that zesty citrus and those waxy lanolin notes you get with mature Semillon. Enough acid to propel this wine into the 2030’s to achieve 25 years of age. Lovedale is one of the leading Semillons in the Hunter Valley - the vineyard being planted by Maurice O’Shea in 1946 and the first vintage in 1950. This was my first of 4 bottles, so , fun times ahead!! A multi Trophy winner in National Wine Shows.

Aug 25th, 2024Pale Gold in colour. Grassy wet straw notes with beeswax and a touch of honey. On palate M+ intensity, minerals; fresh and lively (almost petillance on palate ). Totally unoaked. One should not approach top quality Hunter Valley semillon until 10 years of age. This is my first 2007 which will easily live for another 15 years and develop more complexity. Highly awarded on the Australian Show Circuit with 5 Trophies and counting.

Super expressive. Beautiful age. Super vibrant but still had body from the lees.
