Dark, full-bodied reds with tight tannins and inky colour, showing aromas of blackberry, violet, gentle spice, liquorice and mentholated balsamic notes. Contributes colour, structure and aromatic freshness to great Médoc blends (Palmer, Léoville-Las Cases) where it remains a minority. Also vinified as a single variety in Spain (La Mancha), California, Australia and Argentina. A late-ripening Bordeaux variety.
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
