It showcases the key varieties of the region – Semillon, Chardonnay and Shiraz. Made to the same high standards and style as our Winemaker’s Selection Vat 1, Vat 47 and Vat 9; in essence making our Hunter Valley range the “baby brothers” of these three iconic wines.

Written Notes

Masters of the style, this is yet another very fine effort. Lanolin, hay and lemony notes. Bright and vibrant, yet pleasingly soft. A wine that does fan out on the finish.

Score: 89/100

Alc: 11%
