Leogate EstateBrokenback Semillon 2019
About this product
Region: Pokolbin, Hunter Valley
Colour: Pale straw with green tinged hues.
Nose: Delicate hints of lime and lemongrass.
Palate: Our Brokenback Semillon is harvested early to capture the crisp citrus flavours with refreshing acidity. The palate displays elegant mineral elements with refreshing and crisp lime flavours present. The acid structure is vibrant and lively as a young wine, which will soften and gain complexity with age.
Oak: Nil
Food Match: Perfect accompaniment to seafood.
Winemaker:
Drink Until: 2029
The 2019 vintage was an excellent year in the Hunter Valley. Perfectly timed rain events in Spring was followed by warm, dry conditions leading into harvest. The drought conditions during summer produced limited yields of high-quality fruit displaying excellent fruit flavour whilst retaining natural acidity.
After crushing and destemming the must was chilled to 12 degrees. The free run juice was kept separate from the pressings juice, and then cold settled. Once settled the clear juice was racked and inoculated with a selected white wine yeast and fermented at 12-15 degrees for 15 days. At the completion of the alcoholic fermentation the wine was racked off yeast deposits, stabilised, fined and filtered for bottling in 2019.
