Pooles Rock Premiere Semillon 2025 from the Hunter Valley is a cracking, finely tuned expression of classic dry Hunter sem – pale straw with green flashes, tensile, and built equally for refreshing early drinking and graceful bottle age. This Pooles Rock Premiere Semillon 2025 is finely etched yet full of flavour.

In the glass you’ll see aromas of green apple, lime granita, lemon zest and a hint of lanolin, with subtle chalk and talc notes starting to peek through. The palate is intensely citrus‑driven – lemon juice, lime, crunchy green apple and a light saline, mineral snap, all carried on brisk acidity and a mouth‑watering, chalk‑dry finish.

Food‑wise, it’s a natural with fresh oysters, prawns, grilled fish, salt‑and‑pepper squid and classic fish and chips. It’s also superb with goat’s cheese, light Thai or Vietnamese salads and simple roast chicken, making Pooles Rock Premiere Semillon 2025 a brilliant option for seafood lunches and warm‑weather drinking now and over the next decade.
