David McWilliam Mistletoe Home Vineyard Semillon 2026
AU$29, 11% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.
Fresh fruit flavours, excellent length, and a bit more texture (and even grip) then you might normally expect in a young Hunter Valley semillon. This is a very good thing, and the result is an excellent wine. It tastes of citrus, wax and subtle tonic water notes, with a smidgen of red apple present too. This is a Hunter Valley semillon in fine form.
