2013 MOUNT PLEASANT LOVEDALE HUNTER VALLEY SEMILLON

RRP $70 / 2028

As if by alchemy, with age semillon slips into a toasty, butter brioche, lime-marmalade and waxy realm without its acidity wavering. This certainly has freshness and plenty of years ahead of it, but that magical five-years-before-releasedate includes all the other complex stuff. JF 10.5% alc.

WINEMAKER Jim Chatto What makes this wine such essential drinking?

First and foremost, Lovedale has wonderful flavour. There is a purity and mouthwatering intensity that makes you want to take another sip, and another. Secondly, Lovedale is a unique expression of a unique wine style. Juxtaposed to its Hunter Valley stablemates, Lovedale Semillon is distinctive, delicious and proud.
