The late Maurice O'Shea planted the Lovedale vineyard in 1946 with incredible foresight, recognising that the unique structure of the land and the surrounding environment would deliver the tightness and acidity for world-class Semillon. This wine provides exceptional drinking now or can be carefully cellared up to fifteen years or more from vintage.
2013 Lovedale is pale straw. Intense citrus and lemongrass combine with bottle age characters of lanolin and toast. Concentrated fruits of lemon and lime, with beautiful acidity driving through the palate showcase the amazing length of this wonderful aged style.
Released now, at 5 years, it will only get better with age. 2013 Lovedale provides exceptional drinking now or can be carefully cellared up to fifteen years or more from vintage.
As if by alchemy, with age semillon slips into a toasty, butter brioche, lime-marmalade and waxy realm without its acidity wavering. This certainly has freshness and plenty of years ahead of it, but that magical 5-years-before-release-date includes all the other complex stuff.
