Thomas Hordern Wiley Rooster Hunter Valley Semillon 2016
About the wine
Classic Hunter grape picked at its peak.
- Naked HQ was overwhelmed with requests for a new vintage of this wine and here it is! The Angel price for a wine with this much TLC simply won't be found anywhere else. Hand grown and hand made, Thomas has brought back another shining exhibit of Hunter terroir for you to devour.
- The Hunter is world renowned for Semillon and this baby sets the bar high. It is deliciously crisp with an abundance of citrus and lemongrass notes and a gentle sweet tingle on the palate, leaving you thirsty for more.
- If left to age for several years some unique and complex tones will develop; think vanilla, honey and toasty characters. But if you are like us, this won't last more than a week. Crafted from a small batch, so best to lock a few in you basket while you can!
Best before
This will drink well while young and fresh within 2 years of vintage, but patience beyond this will reward with a developed flavour profile.
Serving advice
Serve slightly chilled, simply twist the top and go!
Food match
Fresh oysters always have and always will go exceptionally well with this Semillon. Another tasty option is your favourite stir-fry with a kick of heat!
