Alkina Kin Semillon 2023 is a compelling Barossa Valley white from Alkina Wine Estates, blending bright Semillon fruit with a small skin-contact component for savoury depth and layered texture. It is a far more complex take on the variety than the usual crisp-and-simple style, with freshness, finesse and a lovely mineral backbone.

Yellow plum, apple, pear and citrus mingle with grapefruit pith, soft souk spice, clotted cream and wet stone. The Alkina 2023 Kin Semillon is slinky and supple, combining gentle skin-derived grip with stony acidity and a long, refreshing lemon-drop finish that keeps every glass bright and moreish.

Pour this textured Barossa Semillon with grilled prawns, roast chicken with preserved lemon, creamy pasta, charred cauliflower or washed-rind cheese. Its citrusy cut handles richness beautifully, while the savoury texture and subtle spice make it a brilliant match for dishes with a little complexity.
