From one of the masters of developed semillon, helped in this instance by the great semillon vintage. Its bouquet half suggests the use of oak – not true. It's a hypnotic wine, with Meyer lemon driving the citrus circus and the wheels of acidity.

The bouquet half suggests the use of oak - not the case - but caught the English tasters of yore who were convinced this depth of flavour had to be oak-derived. It's a hypnotic wine with Meyer lemon driving the citrus circus and wheels of acidity.

At 6 years of age on release, the colour is just starting to show some development with yellow tints complementing the green edges. Lifted lemon curd and floral notes heading to bees wax, brioche and toast. Lively Tahitian lime juice characters are backed by a superb, zesty acidity. The magic of Hunter Valley semillon on display with texture, fruit weight and great length from a wine that sees no oak. The ILR Reserve Semillon is released only from the best years and the 2017 is a beauty.
