Tasting Notes

Pokolbin Estate Vineyard Semillon. 1999

This wine has a pale gold colour with a hint of green, with a pale overall hue. The nose displays fresh lemon blossom, with a hint of honey on toast, mellowing in the glass to a soft fruitiness. The palate has retained a fine acidity, broadening with age, yet retaining line and length. The finish is still crisp and balanced, indicating that this wine will continue to age for many more years. It goes well with Tahitian fish salad, scallops wrapped in salmon with caviar, cumin crusted King George whiting with celeriac remoulade. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years.

The Pokolbin Estate fruit for the 1999 vintage was picked on February 18 at 11.1° Baume following a relatively cool ripening period. The wine was cool fermented in stainless steel at Briar Ridge Winery and bottled in June 2000.
