Silkman Wines Semillon 2023

2023 | Hunter Valley | Semillon

Description

96-point stunner from Liz Silkman—Hunter Valley Semillon at its best. 
A classic dry semillon.

A masterclass in precision and purity, this is classic Hunter Semillon—light, dry, and intensely flavoured. It opens with vibrant lemon zest, kaffir lime, and early spring florals, underpinned by a tightly wound acid spine that stretches the wine into a long, persistent finish.

Crafted by Halliday’s 2025 Winemaker of the Year, Liz Silkman, this 2023 release is already showing extraordinary finesse and is destined to evolve beautifully over time. If you love dry whites that sing with citrus and minerality, this is your next obsession.

96 Points James Halliday Wine Companion

"A blend of Brokenback, Blackberry and Murphy Vineyards (40/40/20%). The wine has some post-ferment lees maturation, adding texture and weight to the palate. There is a lot going on in this delicious wine: lemon zest, grapefruit, lime leaf and a little freshly cut grass. The palate is zippy and intense, with fabulous shape from the interplay between the acidity and phenolics. It is a joyous, well-balanced wine with great drive. Simply fabulous for the price." Toni Paterson for James Halliday Wine Companion

Winemaker's Notes

This Semillon is light in alcohol but intense in flavour, showing lemon blossom and lime curd with signature mouth-watering acidity. Bone dry, with pure citrus drive and laser-like structure. Built to cellar but irresistible young.
