Semillon ... The Current Collection

	2011 Brokenwood Hunter Valley Semillon 94 JH; 90 ST We love Brokenwood; anything from Brokenwood. Hunter Valley has a well-earned reputation for excellent, dry semillons, and this bottle is no exception. Delicate aromas of green apple and lemon, which come through on the palate as barely sweet and long with a wonderful dry finish. "As always, a beautiful color with luminous greens. Distinctive Hunter Valley lemongrass/straw aromas as a young wine. Sweet fruit flavors initially on the palate indicating perfect ripeness at harvest and in fact a bit riper than usual. Excellent acid structure, long flavors of lime and apple blossom. Perfect in its youth and a wine that will bottle age gracefully."

	2009 Torbreck Woodcutters Semillon No way are we going to compete with the winemaker's excellent notes. Suffice it to say we find this delicious wine lightly fruity on the front and nicely dry on the finish. "Medium bodied with a pristine lemon hue this youthful Semillon offers delicate scents of calamansi, limestone, candle wax, and toasted brioche. The copper-pink skins of this robust, age-old Madeira Clone flesh out the palate, lending notes of almond kernels, soft pineapple, roasted cashew and white peach. Underlying notes of citrus oil and minerals maintain the wines freshness whilst a crisp spine of razor-like acidity neatly lace together the finish. Although beautifully enjoyable in its youth with sashimi and fresh shellfish this wine will continue to increase in complexity with time and should provide compelling drinking over the coming years."

	2011 Elderton Botrytis Semillon 91 ST Perennially gorgeous aromas and flavors are spot in this vintage which shows intense stone fruit flavors, a luscious sweetness in harmony with good acidity, and a little spiciness on the long finish. No accompaniment required. If you must, though, try candied ginger, fruit tart, or custard. "Delicious aromas of mango, apricots with hints of mixed nuts. Palate: There is an explosion of apricot and pineapple flavours which give way to fantastic lemon like acidity. Expect this wine to drink superbly over the short to mid term, and with good cellaring, those that love old, gentile marmalade characters in their botrytis will be truly rewarded."

	2010 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon "With the lanolin and other tertiary flavours that will develop with bottle age, this wine will be one of the most complex and balanced ever to be produced from these 107 year old vines." "Spiced-orange peel, peach blossom, cut straw and lemon marmalade that lasts for ages on the nose. Undertones of vanilla pod with hints of beeswax starting to develop. It shows a remarkable structure and tight mineral acidity underneath its weighty texture accentuated by the extended lees contact. Vibrant and fresh with massive citrus concentration."
