Dalwood Estate Semillon grows in sandy loam soil on the south bank of the Hunter River. The 2021 vintage was cool with ample rainfall. The fruit was picked from the 21st to 23rd of January and is fragrant with lemon pith and lime zest; the palate is pure and elegant.

An elegant first impression of the 2020 vintage with white peach, ripe lemonade fruit on the nose. The palate opens up with those green apple skin spirals plus ripe pineapple and a surprising amount of crushed white rocks and elderflower. Toasted almonds and crème fraiche linger on the finish. A very complex chardonnay with all the technique expected of Brain Currie and his knowledge of the region.

Chardonnay always seems such an unlikely grape for the Hunter and yet it over-delivers time after time. And here we have yet another example of just that. The colour here is a touch more green/gold. Immediate aromas of nutty notes, grilled cashews and more – touches of nutmeg and cinnamon with good oak integration. Stonefruit, peaches; it is a pleasing, simple wine, in the very best sense, but one with a lot of flavour. Attractive texture, seductive and good length here. This will drink beautifully over the next few years – be in no rush..
91 Points. Ken Gargett Wine Pilot – July 2021

Lemon-yellow colour, stone fruit and sweet floral aromas. Expressive apricot, white peach and a light toastiness follow through on a generous palate with vibrant acidity.

Description

Dalwood Estate

Established on the beautiful Hunter River in 1828, Dalwood Estate is regarded as the birthplace of Hunter Valley wine.

As the longest running commercial vineyard in Australia Dalwood Estate purchased cuttings from the first Australian vine collections of Macarthur, Busby, Shepherd and Blaxland. Early colonial Dalwood wines from those vines won prizes at international exhibitions. It’s a proud heritage.

Today Dalwood Estate continues to raise the benchmark in Australian winemaking, placing passion, expertise and technique at the heart of all we do. We are proud to bring you an outstanding selection of Hunter Valley wines born from a legacy close to two centuries in the making.

Hungerford Hill

Established in 1967, Hungerford Hill is a boutique estate in the Hunter Valley. Australia’s oldest wine region.

Hungerford Hill has a proud reputation for producing distinguished wines and providing a memorable cellar door experience. Guided by accomplished Winemaker Bryan Currie, Hungerford Hill’s able team produce authentic wines, packed with character and interest, with a focus on New South Wales’ cool climate regions.
In early December 2016 Sam Arnaout purchased Hungerford Hill and will continue the focus on the NSW regions of the Hunter Valley, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. Sam’s vision for Hungerford Hill is to have a much greater focus on the Hunter Valley. To further this goal in 2016 he purchased the renowned Sweetwater vineyard and property near Belford, and the former Wyndham Estate property including the vineyard and winery buildings at Dalwood. The historic Dalwood house is located on the property and is owned by the National Trust. Hungerford Hill’s winery is a landmark of the Hunter Valley region, with its unique barrel-shaped tasting room and underground working cellar. The much acclaimed Muse Restaurant offers some of the finest food in the Valley amidst spectacular views across the vineyards to the Brokenback Ranges.
