Semillon 2001

Mr Whirly says:

“A fine example of cool climate Semillon from Australia, so different from its better known relatives in the Hunter Valley. This wine is stored in French Oak for a short time and needs a little air before pouring. Like the Verdelho it is a very “mineral forward” wine, with a gooseberry pie nose and palate and an amazing smoky bitter finish with hints of Green Capsicum, leaf mould, forest floor and mushrooms. I tasted a bottle of this in April 2013 and its still holding up really well for a ten year old white wine from Oz! Wonderful. ”

Alcohol: 12.5%
