Mike De Iuliis, and the namesake winery his parents founded, has been considered one of the “new guard” of Hunter Valley excellence. With exceptional vineyard holdings and a modern winery, Mike has made De Iuliis one of the highest regarded wineries in the region. The wines are classic yet contemporary: age-worthy, elegant, refined and pure.
De Iuliis Single Vineyard Semillon 2021
The Garden vineyard is planted on the sandy flats of central Pokolbin, the grapes hand picked on January 22, and whole-bunch pressed to tank for a slow cool ferment. It's a glorious semillon, unusually expressive for its age, both opulently rich and fruit-complex with Tahitian lime and Meyer lemon, backed by touches of nectarine.
