2024 Synergy Semillon
2024 Synergy Semillon
Our 'Village' blend is made by utilising select parcels of old vine Hunter Valley Semillon, from various sites that we are fortunate enough to have access to. The distinctive characters of each vineyard work together in Synergy to deliver a wine with attractive citrus and tropical aromas and a gentle acidity. A great quality Hunter Semillon at an outstanding value for money price.

Winemaking Overview
-
In the Vineyard
The majority of the 2023 Synergy Semillon blend is from our Braemore vineyard (approximately 65%), with the balance from the Brycefield and Fordwich Hill vineyards. 2024 vintage was hot and came fast and furious which has led to slightly riper fruit across all our Semillon vineyards.

In the Winery
Part of what makes all our single-vineyard wines such benchmarks for the region is the absolute no-compromise approach to selecting only the very best parcels. This leaves behind a number of ‘declassified' parcels which we put together to create this blend.

Tasting Notes
-
Appearance & Aroma
Vibrant pale lemon colour with a light green hue.
The nose is true to varietal and showing plenty of grapefruit, nashi and jackfruit notes.
-
Palate & Finish
The palate is crisply dry with an immediate drinkability showing generous lemon myrtle, honeydew, Tahitian lime and lemongrass notes with hints of dried ginger and saffron. It’s a juicy style with plenty of length and flavour with a subliminally taut acidity providing a pleasing freshness to the finish.
An absolutely perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood dishes. Seriously smashable!
WHEN TO DRINK
Drink now or within 1-2 years. The slightly riper 2024 vintage has provided a more generous and approachable style making this wine particularly enjoyable as a youngster.
The Vineyards
Whilst I have always applied a no compromise, attention to detail approach to my winemaking, I truly believe that 90% of the quality lies in the vineyard. The key to great wine is ‘keeping it simple’ to preserve that potential quality from the vine through to the bottle - Andrew Thomas
