Region
Hunter Valley – NSW
Grape
100% Semillon
Tasting Notes
As always, a beautiful colour with luminous greens. Distinctive Hunter lemongrass/straw aromas as a young wine. Sweet fruit flavours initially on the palate indicating perfect ripeness at harvest and in fact a bit riper than usual. Excellent acid structure, long flavours of lime and apple blossom. Perfect in its youth and a wine that will bottle age gracefully.

Pale quartz-green; right in the mainstream of Hunter Valley semillon, still delicate on the bouquet, but with a palate full of nervous energy (nervosity in French) ad tingling citrus/lemongrass flavours running through to a very long finish.

The 2010 Semillon gives intense notes of freshly squeezed lime, lemon meringue and wet pebbles. Dry and light-bodied, it has a nice nervy tautness and very crisp acid that lingers long into the finish. Delicious now, it should cellar well to 2016+. This is the first time that Brokenwood has released a current vintage, single vineyard Semillon: Army Block Vineyard.

Fresh and vibrant, this graceful white is soft in texture, with pear and lime flavors that linger easily. Drink now through 2017. 500 cases imported.
