Brokenwood Tallawanta Vineyard Semillon 2019

The original Tallawanta Vineyard was planted to Shiraz in 1920, the Semillon block was planted in the mid 90’s and is located behind Harrigan’s Hotel. Generally speaking, the finest Semillon vineyards are on alluvial flats, but this block is one exception that proves the rule as it is planted on a west-facing slope in red clay. This is the third single vineyard Semillon from Brokenwood under the famous Tallawanta Vineyard label. Vintage 2019 was the third dry year in a row for Hunter Valley winemakers. A dry winter, combined with a small amount of spring and early summer rain, meant the vines were well set up in the lead-up to ripening. Rising temperatures in late December paved the way for a hot New Year, with Brokenwood only seeing three days under 30°C in January. This ensured full flavour ripeness and concentration in the berries, with this parcel being picked on the 1st of February.

Harvesting all by hand, the fruit was crushed, chilled and pressed immediately. Neutral yeasts were used for the fermentation, bottled in May. No oak and no malolactic ferment, only stainless steel.
