• Vintage Notes

  At the time of harvest, 2014 was regarded as one of the greatest vintages the Hunter Valley had seen. Near perfect growing conditions allowed the winemaking team to harvest precisely as the fruit achieved maturity and balance. Looking back at the finished wines, our initial assessment appears correct. A true collectors vintage.

• Tasting Notes

  Free run juice was cold settled overnight for clarification, leaving a crystal clear juice which was inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Fermentation proceeded in stainless steel tank at 14-16°C, helping to retain the purity of flavour and varietal aromas of Semillon. The wine was left on yeast lees for a short time post fermentation prior to fining, filtration and bottling.
