2023 Keith Tulloch Semillon, Hunter Valley

The grapes are sourced from estate-grown vines on the Latara and Field of Mars Vineyards. The fruit is hand picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with neutral yeast to allow the varietal characters to shine. The result is a zippy, bright wine that is friendly and clean. The wine has a defined core of lemony acidity softened by gentle, sweet pear flavours.

100% Semillon. This Semillon has beautiful natural brightness, with a tight and bright core of green and yellow citrus; lemon and freshly-cut green apple at its centre, plus guava, pineapple, and Tahitian lime zest all packed in with aromatic hints of Nashi pear.

Lemon zest flavours reign supreme, with delicate juicy ripeness from start to finish. The acids are gentle yet fresh, generating a satiny texture and softness like white figs, providing crunchy flavour length and vibrant persistence. As usual, these Semillon shows wonderful pedigree and potential.
