37.5cl Margan Botrytis Semillon, Hunter Valley
Ref. 0796
The wine has pure citrus characters creating excellent line and length. The palate is long and textured with ripe fruit characters up front, a strong middle palate and a long mineral finish. The fruit characters on the palate will further intensify and complex as the wine matures. The wine is drinking superbly now, however will reward long term cellaring.

- Other info: The Margan family’s vineyards extend to some 300 acres of vines in the Hunter Valley, most which were planted in the early 1970s by Lindeman. These rejuvenated vineyards, now known as Timbervines, are dryland planted, thirty-five year old low-yielding vines, growing in the rich red volcanic clay deposits of the Fordwich Sill. The wines that these vines produce are intensely flavoured with a clear emphasis on varietal and regional definition.
