This single-vineyard Semillon is drawn from the Fordwich Hill Vineyard situated on the western fringe of the lower Hunter Valley. This area experiences slightly lower annual rainfall than the rest of the region. Unusual for Thomas Semillon soils, which are generally lighter, here they are rich, red, deep and volcanic with flecks of ironstone throughout and this, coupled with the longer hangtime preferred by Thomas for this site, tends to produce a riper, more generously proportioned style of Hunter Semillon. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel and spent a few weeks on lees before being bottled.

A more restrained expression than the OC, there’s a lovely red apple skin note and a slight chamomile tea sweetness lending complexity to the citrus-forward aromas. The palate is charged with a mineral depth, aligned beautifully with fresh and fleshy citrus and a lovely grapefruit pithiness. A come and get me wine.

“It is upbeat and vivacious with gorgeous tropical characters. Feijoa, green mango and just-ripe papaya flavours combine to create a joyful, zippy wine bursting with appeal. Sourced from the Broke Fordwich region of the western Hunter Valley, where the rich volcanic soils produce a unique style of semilllon. Easy drinking, delicious and top value.”
