Capercaillie 'The Creel' Semillon

Capercaillie 'The Creel' Semillon 2006

Made by Capercaillie in Australia (region: Hunter Valley) .

A dry, still, white wine with 10% alchohol tasted on 24th Feb 2008.

Grape: Semillon

Quality: Very Good

Value: Okay

Cost: Usually between $37.95 - $37.95.

Looks: Very clean, clear and bright - not much colour to it and very light looking

Smells: Clean fresh apple and dried grass

Feels: Light

Tastes: A real crunchy wine. Acids are still fierce, but in a good way. Lovely apple tones but not too sour nor too bitter - a real sweet apple acidity. The finish is incredibly long and lean with a real note of minerality. This could turn out to be far better with some age than this rating.

Possible retailers: Cellar Door.
