Sweetwater Estate Semillon 2025
Sweetwater Estate vineyard grapes are hand-picked on land that has been the setting since 1844, for one of the oldest known vineyard sites in the Lower Hunter Valley.
The small Semillon vineyard at Sweetwater Estate is located on the gentle slopes beneath the main building on clay loam soils giving the Sweetwater semillon a unique florally, citrus profile. It is much more approachable while young than its sandy river, flat grown siblings.
Grown in ancient soils, nourished by local clear waters and blessed by Australia’s abundant and constant sunshine, this Sweetwater Estate Semillon is produced in typical Hunter Valley style without oak influence.
Harvested in the cool of early morning, before sunrise, the juice was quickly pressed and fermented using wild yeast populations .
