2022 Charteris Bellevue Vineyard Semillon Hunter Valley 6 Pack

Subtle lemon sorbet with grapefruit pith and a touch of lavender and bath salts. It’s a slow burn to start with but aromatic intensity builds in this wine as it throws off the shackles of extreme youth and the effects of bottling. It’s all about purity here with the citrus and minerals compressed into a tight and also empirical form, crystalline almost with detail and depth in a very focused space. The entry leads with refined lemon drops but grows to full volume expression, lemon, grapefruit and the most composed yet persistent acidity with a long and silky finish, Resonant Tension. The clarity of vineyard and variety arriving with precise detail and harmony.
