Huon Hooke
Light bright yellow/straw; a steely young aroma that is minerally and reserved, the palate also tensioned and dry, tight and restrained, the finish tapering off to a clean finish. I'd give this more time. Points: 90/100

Tasting Notes
Aroma
An aromatic nose of green apple and lime granita.
Appearance
Pale straw with green hues.
Palate
An intensely flavoured palate of lemon zest, lime juice and crunchy green apples. The long, and balanced palate is supported by a vibrant acidity.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine were sourced from select vineyards in the Hunter Valley. The fruit was handpicked in early January, whole bunch pressed and cold settled over 2 days. The clean juice was then racked clean and fermented at a cool temperature for 15 days with a neutral yeast to promote fruit flavours. The wine was then racked off yeast lees, and lightly fined with skim milk, before being filtered and bottled early to retain freshness.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years in optimal conditions.

Toni Paterson
Fresh and lilting with excellent varietal expression. The mid-palate has curved edges and an easy flow, with flavours that expand beautifully on the finish. A balanced, delicious semillon that is dependable and deeply satisfying. Points: 96/100
