Stephen and Prue are the 5th generation in the Henschke estate which spans back to 1862. They are amongst the leading estates in Australia. This Semillon only has 5% oak ageing so is fresh and citrussy but has very lengthy ageing capacity when those flavours will evolve into those classic nutty and bruised apple character. Only 11.5%ABV
"Almost entirely tank-fermented and aged on the lees (5% goes into used barriques), the 2018 Louis Semillon offers up scents of fresh oranges and limes, with hints of fig and custard. It's medium-bodied and silky-textured on the palate, with more richness than most Aussie Semillons but less than most Barossa versions. Compared to the laser-focused 2017, this vintage is easy to drink, yet it still boasts a refreshing, zesty finish."
