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).
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.
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.
Lifted aromatics of citrus, lemongrass and passionfruit with a generous, lively fruit quality. The palate is rich and delicious, with the beautiful chalky minerality so often found in wines from this vineyard.
Lifted aromas of citrus and lemongrass are layered over mineral zesty notes. The palate is long and refreshing displaying primary fruit character of citrus and white peach.
This is a stunning single vineyard Semillon made 100% from the Blackberry vineyard, one of the region’s rare sandy soil vineyards that the very best Semillons are grown on.
A quirky blend for a quirky bird. Ian & Suzanne have a special affinity for the lyre bird and have made a quirky blend of Verdelho, Pecorino, Vermentino and Albariño to make a crisp, easy drinking wine. Delicious (the wine not the bird).
Pinot Grigio is the common Italian name for the French variety Pinot Gris. The wine is well balanced between fruitiness and acidity. The flavour is distinctive, complex crisp and lively. Crisp green apple and pear give it a nice crunchy texture.
