Gundog Estate Hunters Semillon

Story

Gundog Estate Hunters Semillon is a bold wine with great structure. Apples and pears with great acidity to contrast the fruit gives ageing potential. This is the perfect wine for a fresh seafood feast!

Gundog Estate is a boutique producer of Shiraz and Semillon, sourcing fruit from top vineyards across New South Wales in the regions of Hunter Valley, Hilltops, and Canberra District. Sustainability is a driving force in the winery, cellar door, and in the vineyards, with a strong focus on eliminating carbon emissions wherever they can. Some examples of these are switching to renewable energy, moving toward lightweight packaging options, reducing the size of our vehicle fleet, switching to LED lighting, transitioning to organic viticulture, and utilising organic and plant-based fining and processing aides in the winery.

In the winery, we employ a thoughtful combination of new and old world practices to deliver high quality, innovative wines. These wines represent some of the best examples of regional, modern Australian style, produced on a boutique scale. Fermentation with naturally occurring yeast, and partial fermentation of whites on skins, are two key practices we have implemented to great effect. With our reds, fermentation in open tanks, hand plunging, and shorter maturation periods in premium French oak puncheons illustrate a combined traditional / modern approach to winemaking that helps us to deliver wines that strike a fine balance between fruit flavour and complexity. Ultimately, we seek to produce quality wines that tell a story of the season and region. The wines should offer drinking appeal from day one, but also have the potential age gracefully.
