Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A classic Hunter Semillon bright citrus lemon lift and tropical hint aroma. Fresh lemon and finger lime carry through to the palate with juiciness, and a delicate sorbet. Elegant and crisp, with great line and length
Vineyard Notes
In 1985 Bob and Maryanne McLeish planted out 1.7ha of Semillon named block 3. The vineyard is situated on a north facing slop, with predominantly red clay soil with a few millimetres of sandy loam top soils. The vines are planted in a vertical shoot position to allow ample sunlight into the canopy. All fruit is hand harvest, fruit is sorted and the best Semillon fruit is allocated to produce this white wine.
Production Notes
The Semillon grapes have been whole- bunch pressed to minimize phenolics and then put to stainless-steel tank to begin fermentation, the juice is fermented to 2g/l residual sugar. The wine in vat is left on lees for 3 weeks to build texture and complexity into the finished wine. This wine sees no oak or maturation.
Winemaker Notes
