All the great characteristics of a slightly aged Hunter Semillon. Still very fresh and clean, with secondary notes of honey and barn hay. A bargain find at auction!

Just starting to try Semillon, so am no expert by any means. This worked very well with the red curry fish we had. The acidity was nice, cutting through the curry, but without being overpowering. Good food wine, and value at this price.

Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 11.8%, A$22} Standard issue straw and lemon. Plenty of favour on the light/medium-bodied palate; there is citrus and straw fruit throughout, with medium/high crisp acid framing a light/medium body. Disappointingly, the finish is short-medium length at best; this seems very competently made, but not from the finest ingredients, perhaps. A reasonable interpretation of the flavours of Hunter Semillon, but without the aging potential you expect.
