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.
Our 2021 Alluvius Semillon-TV comes from the Trevena Vineyard on Hermitage Road in the lower Hunter Valley.
Pure Semillon fruit of lime cordial and lemon sherbert showcase this classic Hunter Semillon. The palate is intense yet elegant displaying mineral texture with great line and length. A wine of great drive, coupled with extraordinary finesse. Enjoy now or confidently cellar for the next 10-20 years.
Head Winemaker Gwyn Olsen
"A fine Hunter semillon that is as juicy and optimally ripe – despite its featherweight and low alcohol – as it is pixelated, vibrant and intense because of it. Lanolin, lemon squash, tonic and galangal notes stream along chalky acid rails. The finish, pointed and immensely long. Destined for fine things with a decade of patience."

"Really pale and youthful in the glass. Lifted aromas of citrus, lime leaf, jasmine and nettles. Tangy citrus on the palate, lemon, sherbert and talc, it has quite a bit of fleshy fruit. Acid cuts through rapier-like and there's a touch of phenolics that provide texture and mouth-feel. An excellent, long-term style of semillon."
