About the Wine

The Indigenous Series 2018 Semillon is a new style of full bodied table wine that will be completely unfamiliar to those who think they know ‘Semillon’. It owes its character to the Three Hills Vineyard in the extreme south of Margaret River which produces fruit that is golden and flavorsome at harvest, very different to that in vineyards designed for mechanisation. The result is a full bodied flavorsome food wine, generous in its alcohol content, gutsy in its mid palate weight, food friendly, intriguing in its composition and long lived.

This is a red drinkers white wine. The wine offers moderate aroma with fresh cut straw, pear, rock-melon, passion-fruit and lemon curd with notes of tea leaf and grass. The palate is soft, creamy and textural rather than crisp and acidic as is often seen with this variety. The flavors are of citrus, fig, pear and lemon butter with hints of pastry and snow pea. The flavor is long with a soft, slippery finish. The ripeness of this fruit and the soft acidity make it a very particular style.
