The 2024 Braemore Semillon is a vibrant, fresh, and incredibly pure expression of Hunter Valley Semillon, sourced from the iconic 55-year-old Braemore vineyard. Located on the sandy alluvial flats of Hermitage Road in Pokolbin, this vineyard is one of the region's most celebrated sites, producing wines known for their energy, precision, and remarkable longevity. The 2024 vintage is particularly special, as it marks the 25th consecutive vintage from this prized vineyard. A warm, dry growing season led to a lower crop, but the result is a wine of incredible depth, intensity, and purity, with a generosity of fruit that balances perfectly with its classic, crisp structure.
The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in large oak casks, contributing to its texture and complexity while preserving its fresh, varietal character. The 2024 Braemore Semillon showcases a vibrant profile, with lively acidity and an exquisite balance of fruit and minerality. With its immediate appeal and remarkable aging potential, this is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for years to come, developing even greater complexity and depth over time.

Food Pairings – Perfect with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, or light poultry dishes. It also pairs beautifully with soft cheeses, vegetable terrines, or a simple charcuterie platter.
