Expressive nose with lemon zest, pear and honeysuckle. Starting to show some of that lovely, toasty Hunter Valley Sémillon development. Vibrant, concentrated and towards lighter bodied on the palate. Long, toasty citrus finish. Delicious. Drink now or hold.
WSET Notes:
Pale lemon green.
Pronounced on the nose with honeysuckle, lemon zest, pear, green apple, wax, hay and toast. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium minus body, high acidity, medium alcohol, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.

Truly delightful but clearly still very young and just starting to open up. On the nose there are heaps of honeysuckle, beeswax, citrus, and some honey. The same notes continue to the palate with a mild salinity and a long, lingering finish. At this age the wine is glassy and refined but feels a tad closed off. Acid is already seamlessly integrated and this is a wine with no perceptible edges. This easily has another 15-20+ years ahead of it before it slows down.

Lime green yellow, iridescent. Intense lemon, nose, candle wax, lime zest, fabulously pristine and fresh. Flavours are similarly crystalline and lively, lime zest, faint honey and beeswax, still incredibly young. Would suggest this is at the beginning of a very long journey. Another excellent Hunter Semillon.

Lovely wax and lanolin notes that complement lemon & lime, with excellent acidity.

Still early but showing well. A touch of salty minerality. Liking the weight and hint of texture.
