Tasting Notes
The Story
The Wilderness Road vineyard is grown on the sandy flats of Black Creek in Lovedale.
First planted in the 1960’s, this vineyard has long been known for the quality of the grapes it produces.
The Wine
Golden and honey in colour, it has lively brioche and nutty notes that cascade along the palate. The mouthfeel is silky and soft, and the finish has refined acidity.
The Vintage
Excellent growing conditions in 2015 led to delicate and aromatic whites. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed to encourage delicate aromatics and vibrant characteristics.
The Potential
The wine is in a great spot now with a bright palate and crisp, zesty acidity. This semillon will develop gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years. If you can wait that long…
The Match
Our Wilderness Road Vineyard Semillon perfectly matches any sustainably sourced Aussie seafood. Port Stephens oysters? Tick. Barbecued Barramundi? Tick. Wild caught Eastern Rock lobster? It’s a big tick!
