2017 La Belle Helene Sémillon

...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. 

2020 Flora Sparkling Shiraz

Region: Hunter Valley

Variety: Shiraz

A very new addition to our cellar door. Old oak maturation and second fermentation on lees. 

A beautiful rich shade of rhubarb and plum, when poured a pinkish blush of bubbles settle around the edge of the glass. A rich and full, easy celebratory wine with a soft, slight flush of sweetness. 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING A COLD BOTTLE, THE TANNINS CAUSE THE POUR TO GUSH 

2021 Alicia Rosé

'Soft, fragrant and uplifting, reminiscent of my mother's soothing embrace'

Our Signature Rosé has an alluring soft rhubarb colour; it is dry in style and is made from what our winemaker calls a ‘field blend’ of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc - all grown on our Hunter Valley property. It is lightly oaked and has flavours of strawberries and citrus, finishing with a toffee edge

2018 Chardonnay

Our estate-grown Chardonnay is made with just enough oak to enhance the fruit bouquet. The oak also increases the stability of the structure of the wine offering great potential for ageing longer in the bottle. The savouriness of this wine pairs well with fish, pork, chicken and so much more. I know because this wine type is my favourite.
