Pale yellow. Lifted aromas of fresh cut grass combine with intense lemon and lime. A crisp, clean wine with lifted citrus flavours. The balanced acids and intensity of fruit flavours add length to the palate.

Tasted as part of a line up of 18 Hunter Valley V2011 Semillon for a ‘tweet-up’ (single blind first pass), the notes are necessarily brief and unpolished, but hopefully more useful on the site than none at all. If there’s problems with formatting it’s because I’m testing my new XLS upload function. Some sulphur, good fruit, peachy, zesty lemon, good acid, plenty of flint and drive. Like that it’s a bit extra minerally, possibly because of the sulphur, but hey. Jumps on the finish a bit too. Nice.

This is what lively, young Hunter semillon is about. With fresh lemon and white nectarine notes, it’s approachable and flamboyant, pulled into line in the end by a taut acid leash. Funky label. Check it out. Drinking: 2011-2016; Rating: 91 Points; Tyson Stelzer
