2013 Brokenwood Semillon
Estimated value
Buying options
Tasting notes
(11% alcohol): Light yellow. High-pitched citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by notes of white flowers, ginger and anise. Dry, nervy and sharply focused, offering zesty orange and green apple flavors and a refreshing touch of bitter quinine. Finishes firm, stony and very long, with resonating spiciness and excellent clarity. This is the most powerful and expressive rendition of this iconic Hunter semillon I've tasted to date.

The 2013 Semillon puts forward a great expression of ripe pear, lemon curd and Golden Delicious apple with a peachy undercurrent. Dry and light-bodied, it offers a very approachable example of this style even in its youth, and concludes with a long, apple-laced finish. Drink it now to 2017+.
