WINEMAKING
100 Year Old Vines Semillon 2025: Hand-picked and basket pressed, this carefully crafted wine is matured for seven months in the finest seasoned French oak puncheons, enhancing aroma, whilst building flavour complexity, depth and length. Although approachable in its youth, this exceptional Barossa Semillon has considerable breadth and length of flavour and can cellar for up to twenty years.
Many priceless old vine Semillon vineyards are under threat in the Barossa, however, in making this win,e we have preserved an important part of the Barossa’s heritage. The grapes for this wine are from the sandy loam soils of a 100-year-old vineyard on the creek beds of Rowland Flat. The low-yielding ‘Centenarian’ vines, noted for their intensity of flavour, were planted more than a century ago, around the time construction of the Château itself began.
Honey, Lemon, Grapefruit and hints of pineapple on the nose. Lively, fresh citrus and stonefruit on the fleshy palate with clean, fresh acidity on a long lingering finish. A seamless wine of fine acid structure and intense varietal flavours driving the length on the palate.
SUITABLE FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS
