The 2023 Semillon hails from a gorgeous season in Margaret River. It was long, mild and dry; it never got too hot, and the gentle rains that occurred were few and far between and well timed. Generally, it was regarded as a stellar vintage. We are only just now starting to see some of the wines come onto the market, and it is with great, rollicking anticipation that we receive them. On the nose, there's curry powder and brine, cut grass, green apples, hints of jalape?o and green olive brine. In the mouth, it is ripe and rambunctious, mouthfilling and intense. The acidity is soft and rolling through the back palate, and it overall has a rounded, plump sort of feeling—a gourmand style. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
