The year had hardly begun when the fruit for this excellent semillon was locked and loaded. It was a cool lead-up but then things turned out sweetly. Sure, there’s that crisp restraint and shy fruit that is the hallmark of young Hunter semillon, but it also has a degree of palate pleasing texture which makes it highly approachable as a youngster. Crunchy citrus and tart green apple with a fine lingering acidity.
