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.

Hunter Valley

First planted in the early 19th century, the Hunter Valley initially carved out its reputation with top-quality Chardonnay. But it was the white Bordeaux variety Sémillon that put the area on the international wine map. About 100 miles north of Sydney, the Hunter Valley is characterized by its uniquely low-lying, relatively cool, humid climate. This brings out extraordinary levels of ripeness in the Sémillon grape while keeping alcohol levels moderate. The Hunter is also famed for its world-class Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Verdejo.
