Reserved and classic, with terrific fruit purity. It's a beautiful drink right now but further ageing will work to its advantage.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the heart of Hunter Semillon’s dress circle, on the free-draining sandy flats of Pokolbin, Braemore is something of consecrated ground for fans of the variety and region. Having worked with Braemore fruit from his very first vintage (and every year since), when the opportunity to purchase the vineyard arose in 2017, Thomas jumped at the chance. And while today the vineyard contributes to several Thomas’ blends, it is the two wonderful single-vineyard wines—the Braemore Semillon and Cellar Reserve Semillon (released at six years old)—that shine the brightest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomas is one of about 12 producers, including Tyrrell’s, on this narrow, two-kilometre strip of ‘Grand Cru’ Semillon soil. Once an ancient sea floor, the deep, sandy loam is free-draining, allowing the roots to dig deep. The site is renowned for producing some of the finest examples of classic Hunter Valley Semillon and is particularly famed for remarkable longevity. “The thing that sets Braemore apart, what gives it its longevity, is that extra level of intensity and concentration that comes from Semillon grown on this kind of soil,” Andrew explains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Braemore reserve 2019 is is saline, linear and fresh with notes of nutty citrus, underlying minerality and a chalky mouthfeel. The wine shows a reserved nature with such a persistent finish. This is stunning now and will evolve beautifully given patience.
