2020 Harkham 'Shibuya Meltdown' Semillon - Hunter Valley, NSW. 750ml
Richie has been enthusiastic about his 2019 vintage for basically a year due to the fact that all the wines have a bright zing and cool tone that sets them apart from other vintage he's made. This wine is the blending of his best two barrels of Aziza's Semillon and as a tribute to fun and happy times!
Fermented with indigenous yeasts the hand harvested Semillon is made without the use of additions or added preservatives. It has been bottled without the use of filtering, fining agents or stabilization and may show signs of natural sediment. The wine was produced without any sulfur and contains a natural high level of CO2.
How does it taste ?
Lemon, Grapefruit, pith and a faint note of marzipan that you get in Cossard's whites - this has glorious shape in the mouth - ripe and generous yet taut with crystalline acid to slice and tantalize. A great version of this iconic Australian wine style, and like the classic style, you can keep this a long time.
