Gundog Estate Wild Semillon 2025

This wine has been part of the Gundog Estate portfolio since 2011. The aim is a modern take on a traditional classic. There is some barrel fermentation used here to enhance the complexity. An off-dry finish, only just, is another point of difference. At 10.5% alcohol, the wine almost demands a second glass. 570 cases. A lemon/green hue, the nose offers notes of citrus, melons, florals, lemon curd, spices and hints of honeysuckle. There is a very gentle sweetness which subtly fills the palate, and the finish does persist well. A most appealing style, there is lots to like here. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
