Thomas Wines Fordwich Hill Semillon 2022

Thomas Wines Fordwich Hill Semillon is a single-vineyard dry Semillon from the Lower Hunter Valley.

The Fordwich Hill block sits on the western edge of the Lower Hunter, where rainfall runs a little below the regional average. Most of the sites Andrew Thomas picks for Semillon are on light, sandy soils; this one is the exception, red and volcanic, and it gives a rounder, riper wine than the rest of the range. Fermentation happened in stainless steel, followed by a few weeks on lees before bottling, with no oak anywhere. Thomas came to the Hunter from McLaren Vale, spent years at Tyrrell's, and has been bottling single-vineyard Semillon under his own name since 1997.

Lemon and grapefruit with a chalky edge, fuller in the mouth than most young Hunter Semillon. Serve it at 9 to 10 degrees. Good with grilled prawns, chicken schnitzel or a wedge of gruyere, and it will build toast and honey in the cellar.
