Allandale
The vineyard is 17 acres of top quality grape varieties - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Semillon. Allandale's winemaker, Bill Sneddon, believes in a traditional style of viticulture, where the vines are tended with utmost care to ensure only full-flavoured fruit is crushed. Other varieties are selectively purchased from various vignerons in the Hunter Valley and other areas such as Mudgee, Hilltops and McLaren Vale.
Tasting Notes
The wine was crushed & immediately pressed off skins before fermenting in stainless steel with specially selected yeast. Dominated on the palate by citrus flavours the palate is both long and persistent. A great wine in its youth with oysters and shellfish, it will develop toast/honey complexity with medium term cellaring. A classic Hunter Semillon from a single old vineyard, a truly unique world wine style.
