TASTING NOTES
The Braemore vineyard, situated on the sandy alluvial flats of Hermitage Road, consistently produces outstanding semillon featuring freshness, vibrancy and remarkable longevity. This is a traditional Hunter Valley style exhibiting delicate lemon and lime fruit characters intermingled with an attractive grassy complexity, and is supported by a zesty, citrus-like acidity providing a pleasing purity and freshness to the finish. Braemore vineyard is one of the Hunter Valley's most awarded vineyards.
2009 Braemore ranked in the "Top 6 Whites" in James Halliday's "Top 100 NSW Wines, 2009" - scoring 95 points.
REVIEWS
Typical pale colour, with pure lemon sherbet fruit, excellent concentration and a fine, focused and long varietal finish; good now, but will age gracefully. Screwcap.10.2% alc. Rating 94 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010 (2008 Vintage)
Clean, light and citrus driven. Neutral wine waiting for age to work its magic. Edgy and young with lemony acid, flintiness and plenty of length. Classic long term wine. 95 points. The Wine Front.
