Andrew Thomas is one of the finest winemakers in the Hunter and a leading proponent of classic Semillon.
Hunter Valley Semillon is one of the world's most unique regional wine styles. The Braemore vineyard (planted 1969) is situated on the sandy/loam alluvial flats of Hermitage Road, Pokolbin, and consistently produces Semillon featuring freshness, vibrancy, and remarkable longevity.
This single-vineyard wine has achieved an enviable reputation over the years as being one of the finest examples of classic Hunter Valley Semillon.
The palate is pure and precise yet with excellent intensity, showing notes akin to pomelo, fresh lime and nashi pear fruit. There is a soft yet lively acid frame holding a complexing layer of oystershell, elderflower and lemon sorbet. It’s long on the palate, leaving an elegant yet elaborate impression.
