BROKENWOOD SEMILLON HUNTER VALLEY 2022

Brokenwood cultivates Semillon in the renowned Hunter Valley, where ancient alluvial soils and the region's unique mesoclimate create ideal conditions for this noble white variety. This sustainable and vegan-certified winery began as a weekend passion project in 1970 when three Sydney solicitors transformed a potential cricket ground into premium vineyard land, evolving under legendary winemaker Iain Riggs into one of Australia's most respected producers. Their Hunter Valley Semillon captures the variety's signature characteristics with vibrant green-tinged color and expressive aromatics of lemongrass, lemon basil, and fresh pear, while the palate delivers mouth-filling flavors of zesty green lime and refreshing pineapple sorbet balanced by crisp acidity that allows the bright citrus notes to linger beautifully, showcasing why Semillon remains the jewel of Hunter Valley winemaking.
