2022 Hochkirch Blanc (Semillon)

Produced mostly from Semillon, this is a bold and punchy dry white wine that has been produced with a little skin contact that gives it a distinct yellow colour; it has bright citrussy and floral aromas and pithy, incisive and crisp flavour, the finish with a little pleasing grip from the skin contact, all in all this is a fresh clear and attractive white to enjoy that has a little bit of something else, it is a little different, in the best way!

Hochkirch vineyard lies on a north facing slope 250 m. above sea level along an elevated plateau running southwest from Dunkeld at the foot of the Grampians in far south west Victoria. The vines are not irrigated and no synthetic fungicides, pesticides or fertilizers are used; currently the Nagorckas are certified bio-dynamic by Demeter.
