Made from the Busby clone vines at Glenguin which are directly descended from the first Semillon vines planted in the Hunter at Kirkton in 1832, this wine is made in the classic style capable of long term bottle development. Low alcohol (9.5%) and mouthwatering lemony acidity are the hallmarks of this wine, which will drink beautifully with seafood and salads over the coming summer months. With time in bottle the 2010 Semillon will develop the toasty aromas and honeyed palate which are the hallmarks of top aged Hunter Semillon.
Only 250 cases made.

We can usually only get this to work one year in three! In 2009 we had our most pronounced dry noble rot to date; the result of which is a luscious spicy wine. 15% late harvest viognier adds orange blossom and apricot characters to this unique blend.
1,000 cases 375ml produced.

2009 is our most concentrated Protos yet from vines now approaching their twentieth year. Protos comes from our small block of Mendoza clone Chardonnay (unique in the Hunter) with its small berries, low yields and distinctive spicy character. It is a Chardonnay in the modern style with nutty aromas and a lively racy mouthfeel. Oak characteristics are in the background of a wine made in the classic Burgundian tradition. This wine is as natural as can be with its own “wild yeast” ferment and settling on gross lees. Hand picked and whole bunch pressed only the free run juice is used to produce Protos of which less than 200 cases were made.
