Dale, the HV as you would know, is the epicentre of Australia's best
Semillon. Tyrell's Vat 1 and Belfords, McWilliam Mt Pleasant
Lovedale, and Brokenwood again, continually put forward world class
Semillon, that ages magnificently. Unfortunately, here in Oz, outside
of Sydney, Semillon is virtually unsellable, which is a travesty IMHO
considering the varietals potential to age gracefully.
