The Braemore vineyard has been part of Hunter Valley folklore for decades. Planted in 1969 on the sandy flats of Pokolbin, it consistently produces some of the region’s most distinctive Semillon. Andrew Thomas has been working with this site long enough to know exactly how to draw out its best – energy, texture and that unmistakable Braemore drive.
The Cellar Reserve is Thommo’s “best of the best” – a small selection held back in the winery’s cellars for six years before release. The 2018 vintage was warm and dry, giving a slightly riper, more generous expression than usual. It’s still got the trademark freshness, but there’s also a lovely depth to it now – citrus and honey, a bit of ripe pear and gentle toastiness creeping in with age.
It’s complex but easy to enjoy, the kind of Semillon that reminds you why the Hunter does this style better than anywhere else. Bright, balanced and just hitting its stride.
