Description
Sourced from the esteemed Braemore vineyard, this Semillon from Hunter legend Andrew Thomas showcases the freshness, vibrancy, and longevity that define the region’s finest white wines.
The 54-year-old Braemore vineyard, situated on Hermitage Road, Pokolbin, consistently delivers world-class fruit. Despite a wet growing season, the cooler conditions led to a later harvest, ensuring the grapes reached full ripeness. Handpicked and whole-bunch pressed, the fruit underwent fermentation with a neutral yeast to enhance varietal purity. A brief rest on yeast lees added depth to the final wine.
The nose bursts with tropical notes and lime zest, while the palate is vibrant with citrus and succulent fruit purity. A razor-sharp acidity provides impeccable balance, making it delightful to enjoy now or to cellar for 5-15+ years.
The 2023 Braemore Semillon is a stellar example of why this vineyard and winemaker are legendary in the Hunter Valley. Outstanding value for one of the region's best!
