The Willows Semillon 2023 from The Willows Vineyard shimmers out of Barossa Valley’s historic plantings like a sunbeam over dewy citrus groves, showcasing just how vibrant and ageworthy Australian Semillon can be when it is grown and handled with care.

On the nose, The Willows Semillon 2023 brims with lemon zest, fresh-cut hay and white florals, backed by hints of lanolin and juicy pear; the palate is all citrus pith, crunchy green apple and gentle waxy texture, finishing refreshingly dry with bright, cleansing acidity that keeps you coming back.

Serve it with Sydney rock oysters, salt and pepper squid or a simple roast chicken with lemon and herbs and you will see this Semillon really stretch its legs; that zippy line of acid, subtle texture and low alcohol make it a brilliant house white for warm evenings and long lunches.
