Wiley Rooster Hunter Valley Semillon 2017
About the wine
Classic Hunter varietal, back in the hands of Angel fans
- It's no surprise a wine made with this much TLC is in hot demand each year. Hand grown and hand made, Thomas has brought back another shining exhibit of Hunter terroir for you to immerse yourself in.
- The Hunter is world renowned for Semillon and this baby delivers. 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. Or if you're like us, this won't last more than a week at home. Crafted from a small batch, it's 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 Semillon. Another tasty option is your favourite stir-fry with a kick of spice.
