Semillon can evolve for a decade or more; Chardonnay often shows best around 3–7 years depending on style.

Around 12–14°C with minimal fluctuations, in a dark, vibration-free space.

Chill Semillon well; serve Chardonnay lightly chilled to keep aromas expressive.

Great Hunter Valley whites reward a little patience. Follow these basics to enjoy Silkman at its absolute peak.

Semillon: Zesty and bright when young; complex and toasty with 5–10+ years.
Chardonnay: Delicious on release; expands in texture and depth over 3–7 years.

Chill whites but don’t over-ice Chardonnay—too cold mutes aroma. Use medium tulip glasses to focus aromatics.
