{"product_id":"thomas-wines-fordwich-hill-semillon-2023","title":"Thomas Wines Fordwich Hill Semillon 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThomas Wines Fordwich Hill Semillon is a dry white from one red-soil block on the western edge of the Hunter Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIronstone flecks run through the deep red volcanic dirt on this block, unusual ground for Semillon, which more often gets planted on sand around here. Andrew Thomas also leaves the fruit hanging longer at Fordwich than at his other sites, and the two things together explain the extra flesh. A stainless steel ferment, a few weeks resting on lees, then bottling: the method is deliberately plain, because the point is the site. Set against the tighter Oakey Creek bottling, this is the more generous of the two, though it gives away nothing in precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed apple skin and a chamomile softness sit over the citrus, and the palate carries grapefruit pith and a mineral undertow. Drink it at about 10 degrees. Oysters, sashimi and salt-and-pepper squid all suit, and five years in the cellar will add depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
