The throne is secure for the Hunters most famous blended semillon. The wine of the vintage thanks to fine, chalky minerality and structure that surpass all others. Enticingly fragrant and pure lime and lemon blossom; a palate of profound definition and poise lime, anise and pepper. Another brilliant Vat 1, set for an exceedingly long and fruitful life.

Vat 1 can always be relied upon to deliver a pure, focused and linear wine, year-in, year-out; as a young wine, there is just enough flesh for a little pleasure, with lemon sherbet, lime leaf and straw; the structure indicates a long future ahead, and real pleasure will come at least five years down the track. Certainly worth investing both time and money to watch it truly come together.
