Gundog Estate 2025 The Chase Semillon

Gundog Estate winemaker Matt Burton has access to quality fruit from the Hunter Valley, the Canberra region and the Hilltops and his wines are always reliable, while offering good value. I loved a recent 2025 Canberra riesling, now apparently sold out, as well as this quality Hunter Valley semillon, a perfect refresher for the tail end of summer. The Chase is produced from grapes grown on old vines in central Pokolbin. It is a semillon that's full of youth vitality - ideal for pairing with fresh oysters, or maybe some spicy Thai fishcakes. Tank-matured and released young, this offers apple and citrus notes, bright natural acid and the option to cellar, should you wish to do so. $35. https://gundogestate.com.au/
