No longer the wallflower to Sauvignon Blanc, this vintage sees our estate Semillon step into the spotlight. Bright and textural, subtle yet assured – dancing with charm, depth, expression and extensive ageing potential.

DRINKS LIKE: Crunchy apple. Lemon zest. White stone fruit. Layers of texture. Cool climate acidity.

LOVE IT FOR: It’s sheer food-friendliness. The viscosity, subtle spice and citrus notes make this wine a natural dinner party go-to.

FUN FACT: Thought to originate from Saint-Émilion in France, Semillon is as widely planted as it is mispronounced. We say it ‘SEMI-YON’, but don’t worry – we don’t judge.

Vineyard Location

Ravenswood Lane Vineyard - Hahndorf, Adelaide Hills

Season

2025 was the driest growing season on record in the Adelaide Hills. This led to slightly lower yields and a very early start to the vintage. We avoided severe heat waves, but it was our quintessential cool Adelaide Hills nights that allowed the fruit to develop beautiful flavour and hold onto its natural acidity.

Vinification

Handpicked Semillon was whole bunch pressed, with only free run juice used. Fermentation took place in both stainless steel (inoculated) and French oak barriques (wild), followed by lees aging. The final blend is one-third barrel ferment and two-thirds tank ferment.
