TASTING NOTES : Light red in colour with a full soft nose. The characters of the wine are a combination of spicy pepper from the shiraz and lifted strawberry aromatics from the process. The palate is soft and full with crisp clean acid. It is a dry style of rose which is not a reflection of the presence of red grape tannins, rather the lack of residual sugar. The wine has been made to drink as a young wine and should be consumed nicely chilled. An ideal accompaniment to salads, pasta or barbeques. WINEMAKERS NOTES : The grapes for this wine were selected from three separate vineyard sites. The fruit was all picked at optimum ripeness and fermented separately. Each parcel of fruit was selected for the final blend as a result of its individual fruit characters. The Fordwich Hill portion was fermented in new French oak and left on its own lees for two months. This portion was given a further four months in barrel. The balance was fermented without oak. The wine was blended using the various proportions of the individual parcels to provide a wine with a multi-layered palate of intense primary fruit characters enhanced by the soft French oak characters. Minimal filtration was used on the wine prior to bottling (12 x 75 cl)

On the nose, excellent toast aromas and long lift on the nose. Palate flavours include toast as well as vanillin flavour in the mid to back palate. This wine will develop further with classic aged Hunter Semillon trademarks. A selection from the best vineyards on sandy soil in the Hunter, the wine is fermented in stainless steel, bottled young and then aged in bottle until its release.

The Hunter Valley Semillon is an excellent, luminous green/yellow colour, with lifted zesty, lemongrass aromas with some sweet apple blossom characters. Fruit is dominant on the palate but it displays a typical tight structure with a citrus acid finish; initial lime plus cut grass flavours. There is a perfect balance of fruit, alcohol and acid. Established in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has evolved from a weekend venture for self-professed hobby winemakers into one of Australia’s most reputable wine labels. In 1978, Brokenwood sourced fruit from outside the Hunter Valley for the first time. The practice of multi-district blending is now a major part of the company philosophy, with parcels of fruit sourced from 10 of Australia’s premier wine regions. This allows Brokenwood’s blended wines to maintain a consistently high standard, and enables the winemakers to make the most of distinctive regional characteristics (12 x 75 cl)
