2023 Kaesler Old Vine Semillon 12 Pack

95 POINTS

Shanteh Wale - Winepilot

Sourced from the last remaining rows of single vineyard Semillon planted in 1961. Fermented in tank. Granny smith apples and green pear skin. White Lilies of the Valley, blue tac and pumice stone. Self raising flour, lime pith and star fruit. Elongated acidity line with a real weighty apple flavour. This is quite powerful with the delicacy of lace and fine white flowers. It snapped up by its low alcohol and slinky frame and finishes taut and fresh. It’s clear there is respect for this site and a deliberate affection to show the purity of old vine Semillon. Drinking well now and will age gracefully over the next 10-15 years or more. A wine for plump scallops or delicate sauteed oyster mushrooms in garlic.

Barossa semillon is one of the great value picks in Australian wine, one that flies under the radar to some extent. Crisp, dry and delicious, it bursts forth with zippy lemon and grapefruit with hints of lemongrass, makrut lime, crushed stone and lemon drops. Taut, dry and savoury with a shimmering minerally acid line and a lipsmacking, sapid exit. Just delicious. Superb.
