Gundog Estate Chase Semillon 2025

The team at Gundog Estate offer a range of wines from Semillon, the white hero for the Hunter Valley. The aim for this one is to ensure a wine which will age and improve the way the best Semillon can. From two vineyards in the region, they use only juice from the gentle first pressing. 470 cases. The colour is a pale, rather dilute lemon. The wine is tight, taut, poised and well-focused. There are hints of citrus, garden greens, jasmine, dry herbs, florals and grapefruit notes. Excellent length here, the wine has energy and drive with a lingering finish and we will see it blossom even more in the years to come. Drink over the next ten to twelve years but in good cellars, it could easily go twice that distance.
