Hunter Valley Sémillon
Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Terrific Semillon. Petrol, beeswax, spice. Medium bodied, balanced with refreshing acidity. Delicious when you’re trying to digest your turkey dinner

Subtle lime & stoney fruit, a strong mid palate & some complexity (& from what I read the potential for aging) 10.5% alcohol, a lovely slight effervescence completely blows away my negative biases @ Australian wines. I though at firstThat 20$ was a tad pricey-& thats 20$ on sale, but after i finished the bottle, its a bargain.

High acid, deeply mineral, tart fruits. Waxy texture but racy and tense profile balance Semillon’s weight. Sang with oysters

Thought it was very subtle and nicely balanced. Expressed semillon in a beautiful way, yet a bit fallen on the finish.

Medium gold green colour . Green and grassy on the nose , blackcurrant leaf, after a while some lemon confit notes and beeswax. On the palate nice round , lemon , white peach , greengage notes , medium bodied , you wouldn’t guess it had only 11% alcohol . Medium high balanced acidity , slightly toasty note on the decent length finish . This is drinking well now , though absolutely no rush , now and over the next 10 years ?
