2025 Estate Semillon
The second release of our Estate Semillon and one in which you can really see the flavour development typical of a warm, lowyielding vintage. Waxy citrus, white flower and biscuity richness form a complex picture on the nose and the palate follows this through with a great balance of richness and freshness. Light stone fruit and lemon meringue pie flavours characterise the fruit power here, with soft, round natural acidity prolonging the finish.

Tasting Notes
Marking our 10 year milestone in the vineyard, this new Estate trio draws upon 70 year old blocks in which fruit quality has increased significantly thanks to increased experience and viticultural focus. A layered and intense expression of Semillon, with waxy notes alongside fresh citrus and briny oyster shell. Complex and savoury on the palate, the wine achieves depth and texture with the strength of fruit perfectly offset by the barrel influence.
Vineyard Notes
Our best old vine Semillon fruit, from Blocks 2 and 8 in the Old Quarter. Both were planted in the 1950s on predominantly clay bases. Southern Cross Certified organic and biodynamic.
