Brokenwood Oakey Creek Vineyard Semillon 2019

This wine is just starting to transition from the zesty vibrancy of youth into the complexity that Hunter Valley Semillon is famous for. There are aromas of orange blossom, yuzu and nashi pear, with a whisper of toasty age just starting to emerge. So bright and lively on the palate bursting with citrus zest – lemon, lime and Seville orange. There’s the silky texture of a honeydew melon and the acidity of a crunchy green pear. It flirts with you – an elegance, a delicate restraint, a promise of more to come with patience in the cellar. Drink with a spring vegetable pasta laced with fresh ricotta and lemon zest.
