Semillon

2008 Hunter Valley Semillon

The Keith Tulloch (Direct) Semillon from the Hunter Valley is a delightful expression of this iconic varietal, showcasing a beautiful pale straw color that hints at its age. This white wine possesses a medium body that balances elegance with richness, making it a pleasure to enjoy. Its acidity is bright and mouthwatering, complementing the vibrant flavors of citrus and stone fruit, which are prominent throughout the tasting experience. The wine is relatively dry, allowing the zesty notes to shine brightly without being overshadowed by sweetness. Soft tannins provide a subtle structure, rounding out the overall profile of this sophisticated and charming Semillon. With its harmonious character, this 2008 vintage is a lovely representation of the Hunter Valley's unique terroir and winemaking prowess.

Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
