Brokenwood Semillon is a quintessential Hunter Valley white that prizes freshness, precision, and longevity. It shows a pale straw color with green edges, a citrus-forward bouquet of lemon and lime, and a characteristic flinty mineral note. On the palate it is dry, with crisp, razor-sharp acidity and flavors of citrus zest, green apple, and mineral. Finishes long and clean, making it a versatile partner for seafood, oysters, and soft cheeses, while offering rewarding development with bottle age.
