Few global regions produce Semillon as well as the Hunter Valley, and Mount Pleasant are among its masters, as these aged examples from their Elizabeth vineyard ably demonstrate.
The Mount Pleasant Cellar Aged Elizabeth Semillon 2011 picked up Gold at the Royal Perth Wine Show in 2016 and has continued to age gracefully since. Offering a lifted mix of preserved lemon, grapefruit and light toast aromas, it’s developing beautifully yet is still vibrant, primary and long, with fabulous complexity showing as honey, biscuit and buttered toast. Still stunningly fresh, it’s a perfect match with confit salmon with lemon and chive vinaigrette.
An excellent opportunity to enjoy an aged Semillon in its perfect drinking window, the Mount Pleasant Cellar Aged Elizabeth Semillon 2013 is dry and savoury with ripe yellow fruit depth and lovely buttered toast and honey development. Very flavoursome, this fully developed wine will cellar further but is now drinking close to its peak, and is delicious with a salmon carpaccio with eschallot and lime dressing.
