This is a wine produced in very small quantities with only 100 cases made. The wine is made from vines planted in the 1850's on high drainage white sandy soil. This wine is particually interesting as it is made in an ozidative style. The winemaker, Alex Head, believes this ensures fruit freshness and a longer life in bottle. At 11.5% alc. this wine is not as light as Hunter Valley Semillons and has been picked early to maintain a high natural acidity. It shows intense floral and honey notes. On the palate there is a tangy lemon persistance which will evolve into more nuanced notes of honey and lanolin as the wine ages. A semillon not to miss, it leaves many of it's Hunter Valley counterparts in the shade.
