[SOLD-OUT] Vanguardist HVB Semillon 2014

Wine Front 92 points!
“Spends 35 days on skins (25% of it, anyway), old oak and all that. Very good drinking early, which you can’t often say of some more traditional Hunter Semillon. Spice, honey, quince and citrus, some funky cheesy flavours. It’s fleshy and chalky, toast and honey, something like a mandarin flavour and acidity, and a smooth spicy finish, tinged with lime. Like this a lot.”
Gary Walsh, Wine Front 2016

"Pale gold hay baled up on a misty morning... Brittle cheddar, lemon, dusted floral and fresh early morning perfumes. Curved textures. Strange for a sem so young. Refreshing and gently sweet, melon, ripe pineapple and sparked acids linger, salivate, and skulk behind an embedded flash of phenolics and avant originality. Curious and delicious...."

"100% Semillon sourced from Hunter Valley. Unfined, Unfiltered. Whole bunch foot crushed and held on skins and stems for a period of time before being whole bunch pressed to tank for cold settling before being carefully decanted by gravity to old hogsheads and barriques for fermentation.

The fermentation took around four weeks to complete, which gave great richness, mouthfeel and complexity. A skins portion was hand basket pressed, racked and blended by gravity with the balance of the wine."
