Ashbrook Estate Semillon | Margaret River
Semillon - the Aussie classic. Sweet grassiness to punchy ripe citrus on the nose with complex nut, straw, toast and ripe lemon on the palate. Bone dry, acid-driven. Drinks well now, only gets better with age.
About Ashbrook Estate
3rd generation winery, established by the Devitt family in 1975. Only grapes handpicked and grown on the Estate are used and all processing, winemaking, bottling and packaging are closely controlled using the Estate’s own state of the art facilities. Extensive use of the sophisticated “lyre” trellising system in the vineyard maximizes flavor potential.
Production note
A classic example of what this variety can achieve in a warm maritime climate. Made in an unwooded style to retain and enhance varietal fruit freshness. Staggered harvesting of fruit from a combination of estate sites and trellising systems allows expression of a spectrum of aromas and flavors. Cellaring for five or more years is rewarded with rich complex nut, straw and toast characters while still retaining a surprising level of freshness, vibrancy and length.
