Tasting Notes

Generosity of fresh lemon, lime and passionfruit flavour articulate this classic Hunter Semillon. The palate is intense yet elegant and crisp, with great line and length. A wine of great drive and extraordinary finesse.

This wine is built to cellar as a benchmark example of Hunter Valley Semillon.

Vintage

This year McLeish Estate started harvesting the Semillon on the 31st of January. After a mild start to season the optimal conditions prevailed with long warmer days towards the end of January. These ideal conditions provided excellent ripeness and primary fruit characters for our estate Semillon.

Vineyard

Our Semillon is hand harvested from vines grown in friable red duplex loam soil at Pokolbin in the Lower Hunter Valley – the vines, planted in 1985 –  consistently produce the purest and brightest signatures of Hunter Semillon.

Cellaring

Our expression of Semillon is crafted to display vibrancy and lean acidity in its youth, while cellaring into the next 10 years will reward with the 2021 Semillon developing added complexity and honey comb texture over time.
