Charlotte Dalton 2019 Love You Love Me Semillon (Adelaide Hills)

Give this small production Semillon a little time in the glass or decanter to open up (and, whatever you do, don't drink it too cold). Some salty reductive characters will linger but so will the honeysuckle, beeswax, lemon myrtle and lime rind aromas. It's the palate that really steals the show. Classically structured while marching to its own beat, the mouthfeel is broad at first, but then rapier acidity slices through it, right down the middle of the tongue. It's long, citrusy and mouthwatering, making it impossible not to go back for more. Christina Pickard
