BWB is a reference to my early years of winemaking when full bodied oak matured Semillon was known as “Barossa White Burgundy”. I’ve continued to make Semillon in this style; big and bold with traditional Barossa flavour.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

The appearance is indicative of this wine’s weight and structure. It has brilliant clarity with a warm yellow colour and highlights of lemon and gold.

Aroma

The bouquet is lifted with hints of tropical fruit and citrus. There’s a subtle hint of fresh cut hay behind the creamy, toasty aroma of baked biscuits and yeasty bread dough.

Palate

The flavours are mature and complex with herbs, lanolin and citrus marmalade combining to produce a dry savoury palate with a full rounded structure and mouth-feel. The warm alcohol gives a smooth rich sensation on the tongue and the finish is long and dry.

Food Matching

This wine is ideal with classic French cuisine like pate, Foie Gras and game terrine. It can handle rich meaty flavours like smoked fish or bacon so it’s versatile as a lunch or main meal accompaniment. Serve chilled but not too cold, in large round bowled glassware for best expression of bouquet and flavour.

Cellaring Potential

This wine has had extensive cellar maturation in stainless steel and old French barrels. The oak flavour is subdued but the roundness and balance of acidity and alcohol gives a great feeling of texture and weight. This wine will be enjoyable over the next 2 – 4 years

Winery Profile

Hope Estate wines express the deep individuality of our land and vines. All our wines are estate grown, we never dilute our character with other people’s fruit. So we bring you uniquely regional styles of wine.

The finesse and elegance that comes from the red Hunter soil. The European-style subtlety of our Victorian vineyards. And the length and concentrated fruit that only Western Australian maritime climate vineyards can create.

The Hunter has our largest vineyards, focused on the varieties that the region does best: Shiraz, Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho.

Our Kyneton vineyards produce intense flavours from low-yield vines. Its most famous product is Virgin Hills, a wine of remarkable Old World finesse that James Halliday nominated as his ‘desert island wine’.

Our Donnybrook vineyard in WA is best known for The Ripper and The Cracker, two vivid fruit-driven reds that are among our most popular wines.

Hope Estate wines are sought-after overseas, with much of our product taken by discerning US and UK buyers.

You can experience Hope Estate’s wines at our cellar door 7 days a week. We’re just re-working our web site right now, so the web store will be off-line for a few weeks. If you’d like to place an order, download the form here Order Form – Feb 2016 and email or fax. Cheers!
