Review
First Creek took over the caretaking of this Lovedale region vineyard, planted in fine, pink, sandy loam on the side of a creek bed, from the De Bortoli family in '18. The aromatics are glorious, reminiscent of citrus drinks on summery days and hints of warm jasmine. The laser-focused palate is powerful and punchy with long, lemony flavours. It has excellent purity and a cleansing finish. This is an intense, youthful wine at the beginning of its journey.

Tasting Profile
palate

A delicate, but traditional, expression of Hunter Semillon, citrus armoas and flavours burst, neatly over complex mineralty, with grapefruit acidity to finish.
