Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon
Stunning Hunter Sem at it’s peak. Ticks all the boxes. Great wine with another 5-10 years left under it’s belt. 👌🏽❤️

Sep 20th, 2022Aromas of lemon myrtle developing toasty notes. The palate showing that waxy lanolin texture you see in aged Hunter Valley Semillon - they put on palate weight as they age. Still retaining that zippy citric acid. Pros in the UK often swore that these aged Semillons saw oak maturation but the reality is that only stainless steel is involved. This is the 2nd of 8 in my cellar. I believe that good Hunter Valley Semillon should only be approached after 10 years. This will age until the late 2020s. Had another bottle 94 weeks later on 6 January 2024. Still very lemony with a long life to go. Exceptional Semillon.

Mar 17th, 2022Incredibly pale for a 10 year old wine. Delicate aromas - grassy, mineral and a touch of honey. On the palate a soapy lanolin waxy like texture which is putting on weight as it ages (like the rest of us😉😎). Finishes with soft cleansing citric acid. A great year in the Hunter unlike the rest of Australia with the exception of WA. At 10 years of age still in its youth with up to 10 years still in front of it.

Oct 4th, 2021Brilliant. All waxy and aromatic. Long finish. Could use more time but why?

Nov 2nd, 2018Really easy to pair with the food at the steakhouse and great wine but not what I was looking for. Also just want this with more age.

Jan 18th, 2018A baby still, but already one of those wines where I can't seem to keep enough in my glass. I love the way the acidity knits with the weight of the honeyed, grassy, figgy fruit. And I just want more.
