Sourced from the Somerset Vineyard in Pokolbin, “predominately from a 1969 planting,
set over an old creek bed that runs through the property.” These sandy soils are highly prized terrior in the Hunter. Note: Bottle image is of 2017, but no livery change for the 2018.
Gundog Estate, The Chase, Semillon, Hunter Valley, 2018
A light gold hue in the glass. A restrained lemon citrus nose, with highlights of smokiness, green apple and spice. Delicate, subtle citrus with lovely just-crunchy texture. The finish is a whisper of pure green apple that seems almost fragile, lost to the wind of structure.
