Margan Botrytis Semillon 2008 (375ml)

NOTES

The Hunter Valley produces some of the most regionally unique styles of wine in the world. Every variety grown has its own unique set of characters and structure that are affected significantly by the climate they enjoy, the soil they are produced from and the winemaking style I prefer. The quality of Margan is controlled from the vineyard right through to the consumer.

All of the wines are produced from Margan’s old vine, low yielding vineyards. The volcanic soils of the Fordwich Sill that nourish our vines produce excellent quality grapes that achieve optimal ripeness of flavour, colour and tannin. The wines have great texture, structure and richness which are a true expression of the vineyard they come from. Margan produce a richer, softer Hunter style of wine.

TASTING NOTES

The wine has quince and pineapple characters with citrus overtones. The palate is rich and luscious without being cloying with delicious nuts and dried fruit flavours coupled with distinctive Hunter Valley citrus. The wine finishes long and clean with fresh citrus acidity which saves it from being cloying.   It works well with desserts (as opposed to being too sweet) and provides a perfect contrast when matched with cheese or pate.
