Ray Jordan’s review
There is a remarkable purity and brightness in this semillon from a season that seemed particularly well suited to the variety. It's a delicate, almost understated wine, yet with a little air the flavour intensity steadily builds. The nose reveals classic citrus blossom, lemon and subtle floral aromas. The palate introduces a fine oyster shell minerality that beautifully complements the pristine fruit, adding both texture and precision. The finish is long, focused and persistent. A compelling example of why more producers should champion this variety.
