Brokenwood Trevena Kindred Vineyards Semillon 2014

The wine has a very appealing green tint on release at four years bottle age. The citrus, lemon grass notes are starting to morph into cut grass and will ultimately end up as bees wax and toast after 7+ years bottle age. With lovely lime juice acidity, this Trevena, Kindred blend while very enjoyable now will reward cellaring.

‘Aged toast, lanolin and light linseed oily aromas are savoury and mysteriously moreish, lemony fruit expands the mix. In the mouth, there’s a plump ripeness that belies its low alcohol, a lip-smacking cut of citrus, some structural firmness and a long, toasty finish. It treads a path between vibrant freshness and mature complexity with an easy step, and a few years’ further age will only enhance its qualities.’ - 94 Points | Ralph Kyte-Powell.
