WINE DESCRIPTION

Brokenwood Oakey Creek Sémillon embodies the epitome of Hunter Valley craftsmanship. Hand-harvested and promptly processed, this wine undergoes stainless steel fermentation with neutral yeasts, omitting oak and malolactic fermentation. Upon release at three years of age, it exhibits a pale yellow hue with green highlights, characteristic of Hunter Valley Semillon. Fragrant aromas of lime pith, toast, honey, and citrus rind allure the senses, while the palate delights with weighty fruit, vibrant lime flavors, and gentle acidity. Brokenwood stands as a benchmark Australian winery, celebrated for its iconic single vineyard wines like The Graveyard Shiraz, and driven by a legacy of excellence since its inception in 1970.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Brokenwood Oakey Creek Sémillon is a full-bodied white wine with notes of citrus, straw, and melon.On the palate, the wine is smooth and creamy with a nice balance of acidity and sweetness. The finish is long and lingering with hints of honey and toasted oak. Enjoy this wine with grilled fish, poultry, or salads.

ORIGINS

Winery: Brokenwood

Region: Hunter Valley

Australia's Hunter Valley is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the state of New South Wales, the Hunter Valley is renowned for its Semillon and Shiraz wines, as well as its picturesque landscape. James Busby shipped pre-phylloxera European vine cuttings to the Hunter Valley in the 1830s and by the following decade there were over 500 acres (200 hectares) of vineyard in the country. The establishment of the renowned Lake's Folly in 1963 is considered the first new vineyard planted here in the 20th Century and today there are over 150 wineries in the Hunter Valley.
