Tasting Notes
Kevin Sobels Wines Semillon
History shows us that well made Hunter Semillon will keep getting better for many years. This wine was made in our winery at Pokolbin using 100% Hunter Valley grapes and, like every Sobels wine, bottled on site.
Our aim when making Semillon is to get it into the bottle fairly early in its life, making sure it has good depth of flavour so it can be enjoyed young. The relatively high acid is essential if you choose wines to age. Great wine to serve chilled with seafood and white meats.
Kevin Sobels Wines Verdelho
Many years ago we decided to be a bit different and leave some residual sweetness in our Verdelho.
The grapes are part of the fruity family so keeping it with a small amount of sweetness seemed natural. Certainly the style seems to suit many of our customers. We like to tell people that this style of wine drinks well any time and is one of the few that suits spicy food.
Kevin Sobels Wines Shiraz
Made from a combination of Lower and Upper Hunter grapes. We choose to be a little different to some other makers believing that Hunter reds fermented on skins at a colder temperature with a low pH and including early malo lactic yeast for a better Shiraz. Many talk about the peppery bouquet of Shiraz and it is certainly dominant here in the Hunter. All reds are fermented in open fermenters. We never over extract and after an initial filtration, the wine is matured for about 12 months in small oak barrels. This enables the wine to be well developed before final filtration and bottling. This enhances the wines chances of aging well for many years.
