The 2009 Botrytis Semillon has a deep straw to gold color and lovely honeycomb and musk aromas over preserved kumquat and ginger plus a whiff of balsamic. The palate is very sweet and rich with concentrated exotic fruit layers offset by very high acid and finishing long. Delicious now, it should continue to drink through 2016. Keith Tulloch’s family came to Australia from Scotland in 1850. They started producing wine in the Hunter Valley in 1896. In 1997 Keith Tulloch branched off from the Tulloch winery to form his own wholly separate operation and label. Opinionated, outspoken, dogmatic: all the greatest winemakers seem to possess these attributes. Keith Tulloch is certainly not lacking in things to say, possessing admiral vision and strong views that are convincingly backed-up by the high quality results he has been getting in recent years. This is a winery to watch.Importer: The Wine Angel; www.Wine-Angel.com

Aged in new and one year French barriques for eight months, the 2007 Botrytis Semillon reveals a pale to medium straw-gold color. The nose is quite pure with just a little of the honeyed / muskiness that is associated with botrytis but with pronounced late harvest notes – lemon curd, lanolin and apple tart aromas with hints of crushed stones and hay. Very sweet with medium to high acid and a very pleasant silken texture. Long finish. Drink now to 2016. The Tulloch family is well known in the Hunter. As a fourth generation winemaker, Keith Tulloch set out on his own in 1997 to focus purely on traditional Hunter varietals.Importer: The Wine Angel; www.Wine-Angel.com
