2024 Brokenwood Semillon, Hunter Valley

Made exclusively from hand-picked fruit sourced across the valley, this wine offers incredible value with its pure, lemony fruit, palate breadth, freshness and length. Ever-dependable and deeply satisfying, it stands out as one of the region's best buys. Gorgeous in its youth, with lime blossom and green apple notes, it will reward careful cellaring, unveiling toast and flint characters over time.

Vibrant in colour, with lots of luminous green tints. Lovely florals and green apple blossom aromas. Mouth-filling flavours of lime juice, green apple, and lemon pith balancing the zesty acid backbone. The flavours linger on for quite some time, similar to the 2023, a classic Hunter Valley Semillon to enjoy now or age gracefully.
