Brokenwood Semillon 2008

Ready to enjoy now or later, this typically early-harvested semillon has a lightly floral aroma of fresh melon and lemon grapefruit and white peach lifted by a hint of herbaceousness. ItÕs surprisingly round and generous, long and vibrant, presenting a lingering core of intense fruit finished with focus, freshness and a chalky note of lemon sherbet.

Winery

Brokenwood
Despite sourcing fruit from as far and wide as Beechworth, Orange, the King Valley and McLaren Vale, Brokenwood’s spiritual home remains firmly in the Hunter, which remains the source of its most drinkable and interesting wines. Sadly, the Rayner Vineyard Shiraz has been discontinued, along with the Mistress Block Shiraz from the Hunter. A recent visit to Brokenwood was memorable not only for the truly incredible quality of the Hunter reds (still in barrel) from 2014 – by some margin the region's finest since 1965 – and for the opportunity to explore some of the individual blocks of semillon, the very finest of which end up under the ILR Reserve label.
