About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of SemillonHunter Valley, AustraliaOne of Australia's truly classic Hunter Semillons. Mount Pleasant's Lovedale vineyard has been producing Semillons of utmost class and prestige since 1950. The 2001 Lovedale has come from a vintage that was particularly heralded at the time, but the this particular wine has shone like a rose amongst the thorns. Ageing gracefully allowing those nutty, nougat and toasty elements to shine through yet still with a bright lime note visible throughout. Another Lovedale classic.

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Light straw-green; a classic Lovedale in the making, with supple citrus, lemon, herb and grass flavours intermingling; as ever, good balance. Pray the cork won''t let it down.
