Winery	Vat 1 Semillon only comes from our best old vine, dry-grown vineyards. These blocks feature ideal sandy, free-draining soils that give these wines unique characteristics. The oldest of these blocks was planted in 1923. “I tasted all the white Private Bin member releases last week for over a few days, and I’ll write them up over a few days. The fruit source for this Vat 1 is largely from the Short Flat vineyard. Lemon powder and subtle tropical notes, but largely drenched in freshly squeezed lime. It has richness and intensity of flavour but remains tangy – the acid line feels tight and secure – enough to anchor it safely for many years. Sails through the mouth and coasts effortlessly long through the finish. In short, a richer style, but a beautiful Vat 1.” GARY WALSH – THE WINE FRONT 95 POINTS “Vat 1 Semillon is fermented in stainless steel, spending a short time on lees in the tank before bottling. It sees no oak. The 2010 Winemaker’s Selection Vat 1 Semillon has youthfully mute aromas of lemon peel, fresh grass, chalkboards, lime juice and grapefruit. Very crisp, dry and light-bodied, it possesses an excellent concentration of citrus and mineral flavors, finishing long. Don’t even think about drinking this now – try it in about 5-6 years, when it will start to enter its drinking window. It should cellar to 2022+.” LISA PERROTTI-BROWN – THE WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS ad of it.
