Top Rated: Semillon

2023 is the 20th year that Liz Silkman has worked with the dry-grown Blackberry vineyard, planted on decomposed granite fragments and fine sandy loam. So, there is no surprise that this wine is a triumph. Astute winemaking allows the pristine, delicate nature of the fruit to shine. Zesty lemony aromas introduce a long, focused palate bursting with fresh citrus flavours. It is the perfect example of restrained power, with the core based on acidity. It is utterly gorgeous now, though it is poised for greatness with cellaring. – Toni Paterson MW
