Venture into Semillon
Melbourne Weekly
Jeff Gordon
23 March 2010
This wine has had five years in the bottle and is now beginning to show the lovely toast and slight honeysuckle characteristics of developed semillon, but as it was bottled under screw cap it still has the delightful freshness and citrus/acid bite that makes aged semillon so popular with wine show judges and white wine drinkers.

The Tyrrell's Touch

Anthony Madigan
2 December 2009
On a wet Tuesday in October I'm sitting in a pub opposite the Adelaide Railway Station waiting for Bruce Tyrrell AM. Bruce is good fun to break bread with - he tells a good yarn and has more one-liners that Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. And he's a dream interview because he has an opinion on most things, which is probably why some of the things he says attract headlines.

25 November 2009
The search for the next big thing in Australian wine has its risks.
The danger is that we can forget about, or at least push into the background, some of the great styles and varieties that we already have.

Semillon to counteract New Zealand 'sauvalanche'
Sunday Examiner
Mark Smith
15 November 2009
We're spoilt for choice when it comes to white wine varieties. In Australia, winemakers have more than a couple of dozen different white grape varieties at their disposal each vintage, at least among those that are grown in sizeable commercial quantities.
