Château Tanunda 100-Year-Old Vines Semillon 2025

Barossa Semillon from vines in excess of one hundred years of age would be worth a look purely for the curiosity factor. Fortunately, these are wines of exceptional quality, as well. Maturation is in older French oak puncheons for a period of seven months. The vineyard is situated in the Vine Vale sub-region of the Barossa. Beautifully packaged, there are 3,624 bottles produced. Lemon yellow in hue, this is a slightly edgy style, which is most attractive and offers an appealingly creamy texture. The nose gives us notes of melons, lemon curd, spices and a touch of citrus. There is serious intensity running the full length, along with juicy acidity. The wine has drive and yet it retains its balance throughout. A lingering finish ties things together. Drink over the next eight to ten years.
