Description
When Australia becomes a republic, it should toast its new president with a glass of Australia's icon white, Semillon. So says writer Max Allen and many other critics would agree. For Semillon you see, more so than Chardonnay, Shiraz or Riesling is a wine that Australia 'does' like no one else. The most classic examples come from the Hunter Valley, cost a small fortune and can last decades. Out in the Riverina, in inimitable fashion, they make excellent examples of Semillon at far more down to earth prices.
We love this one from Bob Berton's new winery. The fruit comes from his partner, Frank Sergi's vineyard - a small parcel named after Frank's mother Maria.
Zippy fresh, un-oaked Semillon with lemon grass and sweet citrus notes. Full, creamy, yet elegant and balanced. Serve with lemon chicken, roast pork and apple sauce, or a veal and olive casserole.
