Brokenwood Oakey Creek Semillon 2020

The Oakey Creek Vineyard is proving to be a gem for the team at Brokenwood – and elsewhere, as several producers source fruit from here. It was planted in the early 1980s. Indeed, although any final decision is some time in the future, the frontrunner for the ILR Reserve Semillon from the wonderful 2018 vintage is their Oakey Creek. The 2020 is unlikely to reach those lofty heights, but it is still a very fine sem. Tight with a minerally backing, there are notes of florals, pears and spices. Crisp and fresh. Actually delightfully fresh with bright acidity. Certainly, this wine also offers a future, though will likely be one to drink while some of the greats take their time to arrive.
