Hunter Valley Semillon is lean and racy in its youth but develops texture and complexity with age. It also will reflect the origins of where it is grown. This is wine will provide immediate enjoyment, though time in bottle will reward patience. Cellaring Potential 10 + years
The renowned Dairy Hill block consistently produces the best Semillon for Briar Ridge each year and the 2019 vintage was no exception. With Kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass aromas and flavours, enjoy this crisp, elegant wine now or cellar this sleeping beauty over the long-term (if you can wait).
From 30 year old, low yielding vines this is an intensely citrus, beautifully structured wine. A classic Hunter Valley Semillon that will go for 20+ years.
Classic and captivating with ripe lychee, passionfruit and nuances of honeysuckle. Pair it with spicy fish tacos dressed with tequila and lime pickled pineapple salsa. Yum!
After 38 years at the helm of Brokenwood, Iain Riggs knows a thing or two about Semillon. Made in partnership with friend Peter Wiggs, the Mangerton Semillon is a fuller style than the Block 1 but with all the classic zippy minerally traits we love in Hunter Semillon.
Made from small parcels of wine selected for their distinctive varietal and regional characters. This wine displays herbaceous aromas melded with a citrus and grapefruit palate.
We love Riesling but it's not really a Hunter variety, so we thought a cracking Riesling from a local winemaker using beautiful cool climate fruit was an excellent opportunity! Vibrant with citrus led aromas and flavours.
The warm, inland summer bestowed this wine with tropical fruit aromas and a palate bursting with notes of pineapple and honeysuckle, with a minerality of river stones and underpinned by a pink grapefruit acidity.
