The 2014 Juniper Estate Semillon is a distinctive Margaret River white wine that showcases the richness and ageing potential of Semillon in a premium cool-climate Australian style. Produced from dry-grown estate fruit and matured partly in French oak with lees stirring, the wine combines bright citrus freshness with layered texture and developing complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a smooth, textural mouthfeel, delivering flavours of pear, fig and lime alongside notes of citrus blossom, spice, mineral and subtle crème brûlée complexity. Bottle age has added depth and waxy texture while maintaining freshness and structure, leading to a long, savoury and finely balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent mature Semillon for customers who enjoy textured white wines with complexity, freshness and developing bottle character. Margaret River Semillon can age exceptionally well, and this release now shows a balance of citrus vibrancy and savoury maturity. Drinking beautifully now and best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or pork belly.
