2009 Museum 'Alluvius' Semillon

2009 was one of the Hunter's great Semillon years, and the Braemore vineyard made the most of it. Lemongrass and citrus lead the fragrant aromatics, carried on the fine mineral line these alluvial soils are famous for, with natural acidity keeping everything bright and precise.

Aged Tasting Note
This is Semillon with well over a decade in the bottle, and it shows everything the style promises. The citrus of its youth has deepened into honey, buttered toast and lanolin, building the richness and complexity that only comes with real cellar age, while that famous acid line holds it all fresh. The Hunter Valley is internationally regarded as producing the world's best Semillon, a style Jancis Robinson MW has described as Australia's unique gift to the wine world. This bottle is the evidence.

"The one for the friend who insists white wine doesn't age. One glass settles the argument, and the rest of the bottle disappears while everyone is still talking about it. No milestone required."
