Tasting Note

This wine represents a style of winemaking rarely found in Australia anymore. It has gained weight and softness from being bottled under cork which cannot be replicated by a screwcap closure. After fermentation, our Local Growers Semillon spends time maturing in a combination of large, seasoned oak casks and hogshead barrels, as well as a separate unwooded component on light yeast lees. The wine demonstrates our commitment to traditional Australian winemaking and continuing the tradition of rich, dry full-bodied Barossa Semillon.

Product Notes

Rockford Local Growers Semillon wine is an exquisite Australian import embodying a lustric, golden hue. Possessing a delicate, refined taste, the palate savours hints of citrus flavours coupled with nuanced undertones of honey and toasted nuts, capturing the essence of Semillon grapes. It's beautifully balanced by a crisp, refreshing acidity, fortifying its complexity. The finish is pleasingly long, adding to the overall sensorial experience. Rockford Local Growers Semillon promises a wine that matures gracefully, gaining richness and depth over the years. A sublime companion to poultry or seafood, an alluring addition to any distinguished wine collection.
