About The Wine
The Chase Semillon is about the never-ending pursuit of purity for Matt Burton when making Hunter Valley Semillon. It's Matt in Chase of perfection.
Here he takes his best old vine Semillon from the famed Somerset vineyard, ferments only the cleanest and most vibrant juice and bottles it after four months on light lees.
The 2019 version is possibly his best to date. It received 95 points James Halliday and 93 points from The Wine Front's Campbell Mattinson.
Hunter Semillon fans, this is classic in the best possible way. Drink now or cellar with confidence.

From The Producer
The Chase Semillon is all about quality. This is a flagship wine that is designed to showcase the quality of the variety, and source vineyards.
The foundation of the 2019 blend are wines produced from blocks of old vine Semillon grown on lighter soils in the Somerset vineyard. These sites delivered beautifully balanced grapes, with fantastic purity of flavour. In the winery, double juice settling and racking was followed by cool fermentation. After four months on light lees, the wines were blended and gently fined prior to bottling.
true to the pedigree of the region, source vineyards, and variety, this is a wine that will age gracefully in the bottle over the next 10 to 15 years.

Critic Reviews
"While the chemistry (and the vinification)of the two Gundog Semillons from '19 is similar, this wine has more fruit intensity and complexity, its balance very good." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
