95 / 100"Ah, what a drop-dead beauty, with the poise of a ballerina, feet barely touching the ground, and marking the end of act one. The first stage of honey and toast just commenced, with four to five stages still to follow"

Tasting Notes
Sourced exclusively from the Lovedale vineyard, Elizabeth has been quintessential Hunter Valley Semillon since the early days. Aged for 5 years before release the wine is released in its optimal drinking window.
This wine is refined and restrained, a testament to its aging potential. The aromas are of freshly cut citrus with hints of freshly cut hay and vanilla.
The wine is fine, tight and pure. Reflective of the aromas the wine tastes of fresh lemon and limes. The texture is light, bright and pure with a fresh line of acidity along the palate. The finish is fresh dry and seamless.
