Brokenwood ILR Reserve Semillon 2018

Brokenwood ILR Reserve Semillon 2018 is a 100% Semillon, fermented with neutral yeasts and matured entirely in stainless steel with no oak or malolactic fermentation, letting the fruit's natural intensity shine through. This Hunter Valley icon won 'Best Semillon' in the Halliday Wine Companion, cementing its place among the finest Australia whites. Toni Paterson describes it as "concentrated, tense and steely with crisp acidity creating a chiselled effect across the long, bracing finish," noting driving lemon, lime and green apple skin flavours. Ken Gargett highlights its "immaculate balance, bright acidity, ideal focus and impressive length." Style: Bone-dry, taut and age-worthy Tasting notes: Lemon, lime, green apple skin, beeswax, flint 97 pts — Toni Paterson, Halliday Wine Companion
