"...it's delicate and light stepping thanks to low alcohol but very intense in that magical way of traditional Hunter Semillon... a superb wine..." 96 points, HUON HOOKE, Sydney Morning Herald Good Living, 1st November 2011
"...from a top quality Semillon vintage... lemon and honey jockey for position on the effortless palate, the balance is perfect. Triumphed at the Tri Nations Wine Challenge '10" 95 points, JAMES HALLIDAY, James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2012
"The Hunter Semillon paradox is on show in all its glory here – that a light young wine of around 11% alcohol could be so rich and mouth-filling with a little bottle age is a thing of great wonder. There’s plenty of ripe Schweppes lime, citrus zest and toast here along with a full mid-palate and balanced, but soft, clean acidity. Length and satisfaction is assured, and should continue to be because of the screwcap closure. The finish is fractionally bitter and pithy, but not unattractive, and the length and aftertaste are both excellent. It’s right in the groove right now. A delight. And all things considered still represents terrific value" 94 points, GARY WALSH, www.winefront.com.au
