Elizabeth Semillon was first made by Mount Pleasant in 1967. Named for Her Majesty and inspired by the first royal visit to Australia in 1954, its appropriate that age only adds to this classic Hunter Valley Semillons character and class. This really is something special- James Halliday on the 2010 vintage Grapefruit and cut grass greet the nose, and the palate is at once energetic and fleshy, a stream of fine acidity lending freshness. Elizabeth is built for the ages, and will evolve gracefully with careful cellaring.

Bouquet of citrus and lime, hint of baked bread. Elegant, tangy fruit, richness. Clean and crisp.

A very appealing yellow/green tinted colour. Tropical aromas with plenty of primary fruit as a young wine. Minimal oak influence, of which adds a slight bran meal note. More tropical fruit on the palate, balanced by bright zesty acidity. An excellent and flavoursome Chardonnay.

A very generous style of Hunter Chardonnay that will appeal to those who prefer a more traditional style. Made by gun winemaker Scott Comyns.Medium gold in the glass. Plush and lifted aromas of peach, melon and sweet oak. Very traditional and full-bodied, with a sweet, plush and juicy mix of stonefruit and vanilla biscuit, velvety acidity and plenty of oak in balance with the rich fruit.

The love affair with alternative Italian varietals continues at David Hook wines. Pecorino is a new arrival, but it was well worth the wait. So latent yet complex.Very pale with a silver fleck. Grapefruit pith, yellow apple and almond aromas. Light-bodied yet very expressive with a bright mix of white and yellow fruit, an underlying nutty layer, mouth-watering acidity and a touch of talc-like grip.

A true expression of all that makes Hunter Valley Semillon the treasure it is. An incredibly ageworthy wine, our 2013 Alluvius is now showing the rewards of ten years in bottle. With the distinct lime aromatics and minerality of its youth balanced harmoniously with a toasty richness and generous mouthfeel that make for a wine with continued drive, definition and nuance. A phenomenal expression of Semillon’s ageing potential. Will continue to reward with further cellaring of 5-10 years.

Colour: Vibrant pale lemon, Nose: Green apple and lime. Palate: Zesty lime and crunchy green apple, filled with rich stone fruit and melons.
