Brokenwood Stanleigh Park Vineyard Semillon 2022

This is the first release of a single vineyard Semillon from this estate, situated in the Lovedale sub-region, since 2013. The team believe that 2022 is an even better vintage than 2021. Neutral yeasts, no oak, no malo and fermentation in tank – just what you’d expect for a fine Hunter Semillon. A pale lemon/lime colour, the nose opens with seabreeze and oystershell notes. There are spices and lemon pith here. Still very young, this has time on its side. The wine should be drinking extremely well in four to six years, blossom, and then plateau for many more. Good line of acidity and at this stage the wine exhibits medium length but everything is in place for a stellar future.
