Tasting Notes
In 1997 Keith began his own company with a focus on the traditional Hunter varieties of Semillon, Chardonnay and Shiraz, sourcing grapes from only premium vineyard sites. A full range of wines now include Cabernet, Merlot and Viognier. The wines are made with meticulous care, and epitomise the best qualities of the region’s wines.
Semillon has the crisp flavours and aromas of lifted citrus, with the principal characters of fine lime and lemon. A delicate refreshing wine when young, it becomes honeyed and complex with extended cellaring. Always a perfect accompaniment to seafood.
Chardonnay exhibits the concentrated flavours of citrus, pear and white peach, with elements of flint and mineral complexity. Sophisticated barrel-fermentation in new and one-year-old French barrels adds fine vanilla richness.
The old vine Kester Shiraz offers a profusion of powerful berry aromas and flavours, dense plum and currant fruits with savoury spice and power. Complex ripe briar-berry and silky smooth tannins with a lingering complex finish, are the hallmarks of this wine.
Botrytis Semillon is harvested late in the growing season to capture the rich sweet flavours and aromas of apricot, cumquat and citrus. A luscious accompaniment to dessert or a fine selection of cheeses.
