Barossa Semillon, redefined 🌿🍋

The 2023 Torbreck Woodcutter’s Semillon is not your average white. Picked late and bottled young, this is all about bright acidity, texture, and purity—more Hunter elegance than Barossa weight.

Citrus lead the way, backed by a fine mineral line and a touch of waxy complexity. It’s crisp, clean, and quietly serious—drinking beautifully now but will evolve over the next few years adding complexity and notes of French pastry and lemon curd.

If you’re used to richer whites, this might surprise you. But in the best way.

Critic reviews

What the experts say about this wine

The natural acidity and medium body of the Semillon grape takes great pride in the 100+ year old Barossa Valley vineyards that are naturally suited to the region. A wine that shows lifted aromas of fresh citrus fruits of Amalfi lemon, kaffir lime, grapefruit pith balance by aromatic perfume of citrus flowers such lemon myrtle and infused citrus like candlewax. The palate is a little firmer and tighter than previous vintages with tangy, needle like acidity cleansing to the finish. Enjoy as either a fresh young wine or age for up to 15 years to reveal brioche, lemon curd pastry like notes. Match with seafood and lighter white fleshed fish dishes.
