Thomas Braemore Semillon 2024
$38.00
The Braemore Vineyard, planted in 1969, is widely considered one of the best vineyards in the Valley. It is in the Hunter Semillon dress circle on the sandy alluvial flats of Hermitage Road, Pokolbin. Thomas is one of about twelve producers, including Tyrrell’s, on this narrow, two-kilometre strip of ‘Grand Cru’ Semillon soil. Once an ancient sea floor, the deep, sandy loam soils are free-draining, allowing deep root penetration, which is perfect for the variety.
It’s universally accepted that the site produces some of the finest examples of classic Hunter Valley Semillon. It is particularly famed for producing wines of remarkable longevity. Andrew states, “The thing that sets Braemore apart, what gives it its longevity, is that extra level of intensity and concentration that comes from Semillon grown on this kind of soil.”
The various blocks within the Braemore vineyard were hand-picked in mid-February. Each batch was meticulously hand-sorted to ensure only the very best fruit went through for whole-bunch pressing (to minimise phenolic extraction). After fermentation, the wine spent five weeks on lees before bottling.

Eperosa Magnolia Blanc #3 NV
$40.00A non-vintage semillon assemblage of 50/25/25% 2022/2023/2021 vintages from 1941, 1971 and 1975 plantings in Vine Vale. I love these sort of wines. They’re delicious but they get you thinking about the art of winemaking, site and season. It’s a textural, saline-edged ride with bright lemony fruit, but there’s also spice, dried honey, liminal curry […]
