MossWood 2017 Margaret River Semillon has more minerality than its Hunter counterparts, but is fine drinking with green-tinted straw hues, gooseberry scents and crisp grapefruit front-palate flavour. Lime zest, mineral and lemon curd meld on the middle palate and the finish has slatey acid. It’s at mosswood.com.au and fine wine stores.
