McGuigan Bin 9000 Hunter Valley Semillon 2018
The McGuigan Bin 9000 Semillon has an amazing award winning pedigree and is their most awarded wine. It is a perfect example of why the Hunter Valley is renowned as the premier region for Semillon in the world. A light wine when young with a clean fresh finish, it takes on a golden colour after some bottle ageing and develops delicious honey and toast characters.

Tyrrells Hunter Valley Semillon 2024
Sourced from a small selection of our favourite Semillon blocks, the grapes were both hand and machine picked before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then spent a few months on yeast lees to gain extra complexity and mouth feel.

De Iuliis Hunter Valley Semillon 2024
Today, De Iuliis wines are known for their trademark Hunter regionality and commitment to showcasing the very best the Hunter Valley has to offer. The Australian Wine Companion by James Halliday has been rating De Iuliis Wines a 5 star winery since 2010. The family’s vision is to continue producing wines of excellence and outstanding quality from individual paddocks, wines of distinction which they are proud to have their name on.
 
Brokenwood Hunter Valley Semillon 2024
Vibrant in colour, with lots of luminous green tints. Lovely florals and green apple blossom aromas. Mouth-filling flavours of lime juice, green apple, and lemon pith balancing the zesty acid backbone. The flavours linger on for quite some time, a classic Hunter Valley Semillon to enjoy now or age gracefully.
