David McWilliam Mistletoe Reserve Semillon 2026
AU$40, 11% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.
There’s a lovely flow to this wine. It has excellent line and length, but it’s the gentle textural element and the step-up in fruit intensity that elevates this wine above the ruck. It’s driven by slate, lemon, fennel and tonic water flavours, and it presents as seamless and soft throughout. It’s a delight to drink, even now, though it will improve over the next five to ten years.
94 points – Campbell Mattinson.
