Gundog Estate Wild Semillon 2024

This is an estate keen to expand the envelope and to see just what traditional Hunter Semillon can achieve. Here, a small portion of the wine is fermented on skins (usually, a red wine technique), and they have used wild yeasts. It all adds to the complexity and especially the texture. The colour here is a near transparent lemon – this is all a little bit exotic. It is young, fresh and intense, a wine of medium length. There are notes of ginger, citrus and a touch of stone fruit. The wine is clean, fresh and crisp, and with that added textural aspect, it is ideal for a gentle style of seafood or possibly chicken thanks to vibrant acidity. Off dry, but really only in the mildest way. Enjoy now and for the next six years.
