Debut wines are fresh, fruity, exuberant wines which remain true at all times to their varietal origins.

This quintessential Margaret River wine style personifies region and lifestyle. The wine’s aroma is generous and punchy with layers of tropical fruits; it is crisp and dry with the palate displaying ripe nectarines, passionfruit and guava, the finish is clean and refreshing.

Vibrant in colour, with lots of luminous green tints. Lovely florals and green apple blossom aromas. Mouth-filling flavours of lime juice, green apple, and lemon pith balancing the zesty acid backbone. The flavours linger on for quite some time, a classic Hunter Valley Semillon to enjoy now or age gracefully.

The gundog winnery take pride with the wild Semillon by pushing boundaries of conventional winemaking by fermenting a portion of the wine on skins (like a red wine) using natural or “indigenous” yeast. The aim is to create a very textural and complex style of Semillon that showcases another side of this great wine grape.

With tasting notes of very aromatic lemongrass, peach and some herbal tea notes. The palate is bright and fleshy with some residual sweetness there to offset phenolics (tannin) and acidity.
