2017 BROKENWOOD OAKEY CREEK VINEYARD SEMILLON, HUNTER VALLEY

- SENIOR WINEMAKER Stuart Horden

$66 / 2032

A brilliant wine! Nascent of feel. Coiled taut, despite bottle age. Already delicious, yet the potential energy a reflection of a very fine year. Buttered toast just evident. Lime splice, orange pastille, lemon curd and pink grapefruit pulp. The acidity, juicy rather than brittle. The trail across the palate, long, a little chalky and refined. Exquisite. Loads in store. NG 11.5% alc.

What makes this wine perfect for drinking all year round?

Five years old on release, this single vineyard semillon is drinking beautifull­y now, but will reward longer cellaring if you have the patience. Oakey Creek produces classicall­y formed Hunter Valley semillons year after year, and is always one of the best of the vintage.
