2019 'COURY' Old Vine Semillon (low alc.)
The versatility of Semillon is what makes it such a pleasure to work with. The exploration of these old vines continues. 2019 allowed me the ingredients to make a “Hunter Valley” style Semillon. Bright acids, salted lemons, and a base note of honey. This is the lightest version of Semillon to date.

Salted Lemons 🍋 & Fresh Honey 🍯
Previous vintages of this wine explored the vast array of styles that Semillon can embrace. These styles were dictated by vintage and not by any fancy winemaking. One style that I was not sure would be possible here in Forest Grove, was the “Hunter Valley” style. Then 2019 arrived. The 2019 version is a higher acid, lean, bright, electric version that has already started to pick up those secondary flavors in bottle. This wine spent a full year in bottle before being released. This style also brings the return of the green glass bottle.
