The fruit comes from the Casuarina vineyard on Hermitage Road, with the sandy soil that is scattered through Pokolbin. Juicy Meyer lemon and a tightly woven strand of lime make an immediate impact, heretically suggesting this could be mistaken for a one-year-old riesling. Either way, it is a compelling wine.

The name ‘Alluvius’ derives from the well drained, ‘alluvial’ soils found in vineyards planted close to river beds. These soils are renowned for growing Semillon as it leads to a unique expression of what is considered to be Australia’s greatest white wine style.
