For many years the Benjamin Semillon has been one of our most celebrated and awarded wines, the 2024 vintage is no exception. Made in a traditional Hunter style from only clean, flavor ripe free running juice, this wine was cold fermented in stainless steel capturing the elegance, finesse and structure that Hunter Valley Semillon is famous for.
Bright, juicy and refreshing with plenty of citrus upfront. Subtle stone fruit on the mid-palate, carried by an unobtrusive toastiness and lingering texture.
The nose is all about pears... just-ripe pears, with an almost-citrus tang and a touch of apple and smoky lanolin. In your mouth this develops with the classic Pinot Gris voluptuously smooth richness, even a slight oiliness, balanced by subtle but long-lived acid that takes the flavours right to the back of the palate where they explode like sherbet for a wonderful lime finale.
A classic Hunter style of Verdelho compared to the recent past’s “lean, mean and green” vogue, this 2023 Jessica exudes passionfruit and pineapple on the nose with a waft of Tahitian lime sherbet.
Our Lisa Chardonnay is part of the Gartelmann Reserve Range. It is elegant, subdued, exhibiting delightful citrus and flinty characters with a good dash of excellent French oak to add the vanilla and toasty bouquet we expect.
