Torbreck Barossa Valley Woodcutter’s Semillon 2024
Semillon has always found a natural home in the Barossa. It was one of the early white wine grape varieties planted by the first settlers around 160 years ago and the Mediterranean climate and careful farming has created a heritage of old, low yielding Semillon vineyards. With the use of an age-old, robust, pink-skinned Madeira clone, found mainly in the Barossa, the Woodcutter’s - Semillon is reminiscent of the savoury white wines found in the central and southern regions of France.
The natural acidity and medium body of the Semillon grape takes great pride in the 100+ year old Barossa Valley vineyards that are naturally suited to the region. A wine that shows lifted aromas of fresh citrus fruits of Amalfi lemon, kaffir lime, grapefruit pith balance by aromatic perfume of citrus flowers such lemon myrtle and infused citrus like candlewax. The palate is a little firmer and tighter than previous vintages with tangy, needle like acidity cleansing to the finish. Enjoy as either a fresh young wine or age for up to 15 years to reveal brioche, lemon curd pastry like notes. Match with seafood and lighter white fleshed fish dishes.
