Winery
Our humble vineyard began its life with the planting of Semillon in 1963. The block has lived with many names before we settled on the rather boring and unimaginative ''SEM A''. The vineyard was originally planted as 13 acres, however in 2009 we have reduced it down to 5 acres keeping the best ''old vines'' fruit for the future. Learning by bitter experience, Semillon has a real thirst for water during periods of hot weather. Most of the original Semillon block was unirrigated so over the years has suffered terribly during the hot Hunter Valley summers. Not surprisingly the healthiest vines were found in the irrigated sections, so those make up part of the remaining acres, and we have added extra irrigation so all 5 acres receive vital water. The rows are planted following the natural hillside, which lends itself beautifully to a north/south orientation, which gets maximum sunlight exposure to the canopy.
