Although Australian Sémillon may be unfashionable in some quarters it has a small but strong following here. We are always tempting our customers to try something a little different and this is a wine well worth discovering. From the tropical, apricot flavours through to the beewax/lanolin notes this is very approachable even as a young wine.


Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Aromatic complex nose consisting of lemongrass, citrus fruits and quince, underlying tropical and cut grass nuances with a subtle creaminess. The palate is delicate and elegant but with a subtle richness. Citrus fruits and quince following through from the nose. Subtle oak spice but well integrated with a touch a creaminess. Balanced acidity that gives structure, length and a clean fresh finish."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, May 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"A lovely fragrant bouquet with scents of white flowers and apple, a touch of lemon and gooseberry, sweet hay and a clay mineral quality. A lees layer adds complexity and depth. Bright, crisp and salivating on the palate with fruit and floral flavours to reflect the bouquet, apple and white spice, grapefruit and citrus pith, lees and mineral. Youthful and quite delicious, a lovely aperitif style with best drinking from 2022 through 2028+."


92/100 qwinereviews.com (2020 Vintage)
"A frisky and expressive Semillon charged for your drinking pleasure. From Paulette's Clare Valley Watervale vineyard, this Semillon is bursting with freshness. Clean and crisp, there is some zip and it is laced with citrus goodness. Lashings of lemongrass, lemon rind and a squeeze of juice, a little phenolic grip reminds you of the beauty of Semillon. Some tropical feels show their hand with the lightest touch of passion fruit with the acid bringing some tension. Fresh seafood, tempura prawns, fish and chips and even the humble Chiko roll straight out of the air fryer are easy matches. A fab drink and one which will age gracefully – if that is your thing."


93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, April 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Lemongrass, ginger, lemony-lime characters in the perfume. Similar to taste but with a talc-like pucker to texture and some light nutty characters in the mix too. Good length, bristling acidity keeping things very perky and fresh. A summery number with a serious side."
