Structured, taut whites with precise acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, orange peel), dried fruits, toasted almond, Mediterranean herbs and pronounced saline notes. A historic pillar of medium-dry Madeira (one of the island's four classic noble grapes) where it develops complex oxidative notes. Also as structured dry whites in Douro DOC and Australia (Hunter Valley). Native Portuguese grape, unrelated to Spanish Verdejo.

The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud

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.

The word of the wine: Aging on lees

Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
