Charlotte Dalton Love you love me Semillon from the Adelaide Hills is a bright, textural and seriously characterful semillon that crackles with citrus energy yet feels beautifully layered and grown‑up on the palate. It’s the sort of Adelaide Hills white that turns semillon sceptics into true believers.

In the glass, Charlotte Dalton Love you love me Semillon offers up hay, citrus blossom, lemon zest and crunchy green apple, backed by hints of honey, lemongrass and white flowers. The palate is crisp and refreshing yet viscous and pithy, with grapefruit pith, lime juice, green apple and a lick of minerality riding on bright acidity and long, savoury texture from lees work.

This is a brilliant partner for fresh oysters, salt‑and‑pepper squid, grilled prawns or a simple plate of fish and chips where that grapefruit‑pith texture cuts through the crunch. It will also sing with goat’s cheese salad, lemony roast chicken, Vietnamese salads or just a big bowl of mussels with garlic, white wine and herbs on a warm Adelaide evening.
