Semillon

Semillon range at McLeish Estate delivers a premium experience of this varietal, ranging from 2003 vintage through to our most recent vintage. 

All the Semillon is estate grown in Australia ’s premium wine growing region- the Hunter Valley

And the end result are premium, internationally awarded wines that are crafted by our winemaker Andrew Thomas - the master of Semillons.

At the earliest stage of life Semillon has a unique minerally, lemony style, which is crisp and lean and is made without the influence of oak or malolactic fermentation. However the wine undergoes a transformation with age, developing into a complex, nutty, honeyed wine of great depth and complexity. 

As you progress through the premium McLeish Estate Semillon’s you will notice this evolution.
