93 / 100"Light yellow hue; straw/dry-grass /hay and lemon peel aromas, the wine is light bodied and restrained, with attractive softness and texture, dry finish without austerity, with some roundness of shape and an appealing combination of generosity and restraint. A very smart semillon from this region"

Tasting Notes
Winemaker Notes
This wine faithfully reflects the contribution made by the Sibley and Kalleske families to Rockford and the Barossa. Their knowledge, tenacity and commitment to the land ensure Semillon – a pioneer Barossa variety – has a viable future. Because the fruit is hand-picked, we can select bunches at different stages of ripeness. The early-picked fruit adds acidity while the later-season fruit contributes riper, fruitier components. The wine matured in barrel and the combination of different sized oak casks, when finally blended, come together to make a complex, textured, and mouth-filling wine.
