2023 Thomas Wines The OC Semillon
Description
WINEMAKER: Andrew Thomas
REGION: Hunter Valley, NSW
VARIETY: Semillon
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
This wine bolts straight out the gate with classic Hunter Semillon character; tangy citrus, touches of gentle green tropicals, a steely mineral vein, and a whisper of freshly cut grass. It’s a linear and focused wine, full of energy, a lovely phenolic nip and bracing acidity. Delicious, well-textured and tangy, just add your seafood of choice with a squeeze of lemon.
The source for the OC Semillon, the low-yielding Oakey Creek Vineyard in southern-central Pokolbin, was planted in 1976 on a sandy/loam strip along Oakey Creek Road. After many years making ripe and generous Semillon from this site, Andrew Thomas realised this patch of shallow dirt was far more suited to creating a more classic Hunter Valley Semillon style. He has not looked back. Stylistically, Thommo sees this wine as having the purest and most precise expression with a bright, long line of acidity.
