Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon
Jancis Robinson MW once said that mature Hunter Valley Semillon was Australia's gift to the World of Wine. This wine demonstrates that statement. Notes of wet straw Bees wax Lanolin Grassy nuances. Acid diminishing from the searing levels in its youth. "Less is More". Pale Gold in colour. Marvellous wine at 16 years still with a future.
