There's a beautiful balance of body and freshness with plenty of citrusy freshness on the palate with a slightly waxy texture and a lovely lift of acidity. Drink with spring and summer fare.
It is not a typically lemony Semillon, showing more complex aromas of smoked almonds and honeysuckle as well as buttery textures from the natural malolactic fermentation.
Semillon has always found a natural home in the Barossa. It was one of the early white wine grape varieties planted by the first settlers around 160 years ago and the Mediterranean climate and careful farming has created a heritage of old, low yielding Semillon vineyards.
With the use of an age-old, robust, pink-skinned Madeira clone, found mainly in the Barossa, and maturation in both stainless steel and seasoned French barriques, the Woodcutter’s Semillon is reminiscent of the savoury, food friendly white wines found in the central and southern regions of France.
The natural acidity and medium body of the Semillon grape takesgreat pride in the 100+ year old Barossa Valley vineyards that arenaturally suited to the region.
