TASTING NOTES

This cool-climate Semillon offers a pristine expression of the Yarra Valley. In the glass, it shimmers with a pale lemon hue. The nose reveals aromas of fresh lime zest, green apple, and hints of white blossom, underscored by a delicate minerality. On the palate, vibrant citrus and crisp pear flavours are framed by a subtle flintiness, with a taut, refreshing acidity that leads to a clean, enduring finish. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with fresh oysters, goat cheese, or light vegetarian dishes. This Semillon has the structure to age gracefully, developing richer, honeyed complexity over time.
