Tasting Notes
The Story
The Garden Vineyard is located on the sandy creek flats of our Steven Vineyard in central Pokolbin. The alluvial soil in this vineyard is nutrient rich producing an iconic style of Hunter Semillon known for it’s finesse and potential for your cellar.
The Wine
Pale lime green in colour, this wine boasts a delicate nose of jasmine and citrus. Subtle hints of lemon sorbet and racy lime makes for a refreshing and clean wine that can be enjoyed right now. The crisp acidity not only gives the wine exceptional balance, but insight into its future potential.
The Vintage
Excellent growing conditions in 2023 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 Garden 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!
