The 2024 Charteris Hunter Semillon is a classic Hunter Valley Semillon that showcases the purity, freshness and longevity for which the region is internationally renowned. Crafted in a bright, youthful style, this wine captures the essence of the variety with lifted aromas of lemon zest, lime juice and green apple, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral edge.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with crisp natural acidity and exceptional precision. Flavours of citrus, Granny Smith apple and lemon pith are tightly focused and refreshing, creating a wine that is vibrant in its youth while hinting at its impressive ageing potential. The finish is clean, dry and persistent, with lingering citrus and mineral notes that are hallmarks of premium Hunter Valley Semillon.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate fresh, unoaked white wines with remarkable versatility and cellaring potential. Its bright acidity and citrus-driven profile make it a perfect match for freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, white fish and light summer salads. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy, or cellar for 8–15 years as it develops the distinctive toast, honey and complexity that great Hunter Valley Semillon is famous for.
