2024 De Iuliis Semillon

A racy Semillon that shows both precision and intensity.

Brilliant water like colour with highlights of green around the edges. Elevated lime zest aromas infused with fresh herbs are trailed by some green apple, flint and steely mineral notes. Racy lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple fruits are delivered with both precision and intensity. Crisp steely acidity with infusions of fresh herbs and steely mineral elements lingering across the tense back half. Long zippy finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews….
Intense preserved lemon and grapefruit flavours entwined with a spirited core of acidity. Concentrated ripe lemon flavours dominate the mid-palate, while a gently spicy phenolic frame adds to the wine's bold character. The wine benefits from some air on opening.

Attractive fresh lemon juice aromas, bright and vibrant. Lovely fruit purity here, the palate likewise with precision and freshness, vitality, line and length. Classic Hunter semillon delicacy and finesse, allied with intensity. Drink: 2025 to 2036.
