Brokenwood Harlequin Semillon Chardonnay 2007
|
| |
|
|
Simply stunning blend of Hunter Semillon and cracking premium Chardonnay combine to produce a spectacular wine which is both very stylish as well as fresh with lovely acid and structure. Huge loads of melon and peachy fruit combine here to provide a simply irresistible wine for the cooler months ahead. Not overburdened with oak, this little beauty is wooing our customers on the basis of fruit first and sensational value for money from one of the most dedicated teams in the Hunter Valley.
Variety: 50% Semillon / 50% Chardonnay from premium growing areas in South East Australia.
Tasting Notes: Semillon contributes vibrant fresh lemon citrus aromas and gentle acidity, marrying beautifully with the melon and peach characters of the softer richer Chardonnay. The natural acidity provides balance and length on the palate rounding off the attractive fruit flavours.
A wonderful accompaniment for seafood, pasta & risottos under the good old stelvin screw cap which makes for easy opening every time!
At nearly 40 years young, Brokenwood Wines, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, can lay claim to not only an iconic vineyard with the Graveyard Vineyard but to the preservation of a wine fraternity that proudly has as its mission statement, 'to make great wine and have fun'.
The original land that was to become the Cricket Pitch Vineyard was purchased in 1970 and planted immediately to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Graveyard Vineyard, planted to Shiraz in 1968, was bought in 1978 and by the mid 1980s was producing a premium Single Vineyard wine. The first Langton's Classification of Premium Australian Wine was launched in 1993 and the Graveyard Shiraz was then, and remains, the highest-placed Hunter Valley Shiraz.
The Hunter Valley is renowned for its dry table wines of Semillon and Shiraz. Brokenwood’s production of these is further supported by premium grapes from as far afield as Orange, Beechworth and McLaren Vale.
Today, Brokenwood boasts an impressive array of premium quality wines, sourced from 'all the right regions, for all the right reasons', from the Graveyard Shiraz to the Cricket Pitch Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and Cricket Pitch Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.
