Tulloch Wines Semillon Hunter River White Heritage Range 2026 is shaping up exactly as you’d expect from a classic young Hunter Semillon – pale, tightly wound and all about bright citrus, crunchy acidity and refreshment, made to drink young but with the bones to age. Based on the 2025 release and Tulloch’s own notes on this exact cuvée, you can expect the 2026 to stay firmly in that mould.

In youth, Hunter River White Heritage Semillon shows pale straw colour with a green hue, lifted citrus and lime‑zest aromatics and a palate that’s light‑bodied yet intensely flavoured with lemon, lime, sherbet and talc‑like texture over soft mineral acidity. It is made protectively in stainless steel with no oak, preserving purity and letting that crunchy, zesty line run from start to finish, exactly as Tulloch describe for their Hunter River White Semillon.

This Heritage Range Semillon is made to be a beach‑and‑seafood all‑rounder: oysters, prawns, bugs, crab, grilled white fish, salt‑and‑pepper squid and summer salads all slot in perfectly. It’s also the kind of wine that works brilliantly as a “house white” when people jump online to buy Semillon or Hunter Valley white wine, delivering classic regional character, a cleansing palate, and the potential to develop toast and honey notes if you stash a few bottles away.
