The 2025 First Creek Semillon is a vibrant and refreshing Hunter Valley Semillon crafted in a classic Australian style, showcasing bright citrus fruit, crisp acidity and exceptional purity. The nose is lively and expressive, revealing aromas of lemon zest, lime blossom and green apple, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with zesty natural acidity and a beautifully clean, focused texture, delivering flavours of fresh lime, lemon, Granny Smith apple and citrus blossom layered with a fine mineral edge. The finish is long, dry and refreshingly crisp, highlighting the precision and elegance that have made Hunter Valley Semillon one of Australia's most iconic white wine styles.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Hunter Valley Semillon for customers who enjoy fresh, citrus-driven whites with vibrant acidity and excellent ageing potential. Delicious while young for its bright fruit and crisp finish, it will also reward careful cellaring over the next 8–12 years, developing classic honeyed toast and lanolin characters. Best served well chilled with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, steamed fish, lemon herb chicken or fresh goat's cheese.
