With fruit from the oldest block of Semillon on the property on a south-east facing hillside slope at 170m above sea level, this is the Hunter Valley’s highest altitude Semillon vineyard, and is planted on rich Terra Rossa clay soil over limestone. Made using techniques typical of Semillon production in the 1940’s to 1960’s the wine shows expressive lime leaf aromas and concentrated citrus fruits surrounded by mouthcoating texture from extended aging on lees in old neutral oak casks.
