2024 Brokenwood Semillon

WINERY OF THE YEAR! - 2026 Halliday Wine Companion

Semillon is the wine Brokenwood has built its name on, and the 2024 shows why they’re still leading the way. All the fruit was hand-picked from across Pokolbin, then fermented cool in stainless steel – no oak, no tricks, just clean, fresh Semillon made the way it should be.

The growing season was a bit tough, with smaller crops and earlier picking, but that’s only added to the flavour intensity. It’s crisp, bright and zippy now, with plenty of citrus and green apple vibes, and a backbone of acidity that will carry it for years if you’re patient.

Right now it’s deliciously fresh and perfect with seafood or a hot day by the coast, but tuck a few bottles away and you’ll see it turn into something layered and toasty down the track. Brokenwood keeps proving that classic Hunter Sem is still one of the best value white wines in the country.
