2019 Semillon

...Sémillon: a French word pronouncd Sem-ee-yon

Tasting Notes

A crisp and pale straw-coloured wine with herbal notes. Fresh lemon and lime persist throughout balanced by an underlying steely acidity. This wine is true to the style of a classic Hunter Valley Sémillon demonstrating good length and structure. It has the citrus freshness of youth, but is developing those delicious notes of oak that typify an ageing Sémillon. But note this wine has not been oaked. 

If you are eating a food that you would squeeze a lemon over, pair the food with this very classy Sémillon. 

2022 Pinot Grigio

Full and fruity; the French way

Tasting Notes

These grapes were picked early, resulting in a drier style Pinot Grigio that has a luscious fruit finish. Light copper/brass colour, with an unusual aroma of nettles and dried herbs with some background passionfruit and lemon notes.

It turns quite citrusy on the palate, with a gentle sweet-and-sour interplay. A delicious firmly flavoured Pinot Grigio.  

I love this particular Pinot Grigio!

2018 Reserve Shiraz (Thomas Charles)

Region: Lovedale Hunter Valley

Variety: Shiraz

Alc: 14%

Tasting Notes

Our Reserve Shiraz is made from Shiraz grapes grown on our Estate. When we make our Shiraz we take into consideration how much oak the fruit can handle; because of the exceptional  nature of the 2018 harvest, the time on oak imparted additional tannins that contributed to the wine's natural stability. This strong tannin structure ensures this wine will age nicely for many years.

It is soft & smooth on the palate with intense flavours.   

2021 Cabernet Franc 

The Cabernet Franc 2021 has a smooth rounded palate with a juicy centre, finishing with a mineral acid freshness. Tasting of fruity red berries and pronounced aromas of red cherry, wild raspberries and fresh cut herbs, this is a magnificent single vineyard example of a Hunter grown Cabernet Franc.
