Single Vineyard Series – Somerset Semillon
2014 Semillon, Hunter Valley, New South Wales
A classic Semillon from one of the greatest ever Hunter vintages
Description
The 2014 Hunter vintage has gone down as one of the greats. It was quite unlike any other I have experienced, and served as a great source of creative inspiration in the winery. Amongst the new blends and alternative styles we developed, I also made the decision to individually process, ferment, and mature six parcels of fruit that would form a new range of Single Vineyard wines.
The concept was simple; select the highest quality parcels of Semillon and Shiraz coming into the winery, and give each identical (as much as practically possible) winemaking treatments. The resulting wines would then serve as individual expressions of the vineyard, variety, and this extraordinary season. Differences between the personalities of the wines would be a function of these factors, and not as a result of my hand as a winemaker.
