Tasting Notes for the 2011 Whites


The ferment is nearly complete for the 2011 White vintage and it looks like we have one white to drink now and one to put down (unless you prefer a young Semillon style which I do). The Shiraz needs to go sit in some oak for a year.

2011 Kintarla Semillon

The 2011 Kintarla Semillon is made in the unique style that is typical of classic Hunter Semillons. The wine shows intense aromas of lime and cut grass, while the finely balanced palate offers flavours of pear and green apple. As a wine of great length and character we expect it to mature and gain complexity over the next ten years.

Alcohol: 11.5% (TBC closer to bottling)

Fined with milk and fish products

Preservative 220 added

2011 Kintarla Verdelho

The 2011 Kintarla Verdelho offers bright aromas of melon, pineapple and liquorice. The youthful, full bodied palate is showing the complete spectrum of tropical flavours typical of this variety. Offering fine balance and great length, this wine best enjoyed in its youth.

Alcohol: 14.5% (TBC closer to bottling)

Fined with milk and fish products

Preservative 220 added
