2025 Aeon Soleil

This is the first-ever white wine released by Aeon, and true to form, Alisdair and Kenisha Tulloch haven't gone down the standard stainless-steel path.

Named 'Soleil' (French for Sun), this is a Fumé style Semillon sourced from the clay soils of the Latara vineyard - a site that is literally 100 meters from their front door.

It was 100% barrel fermented and matured in French oak for nine months. That time in wood transforms the wine completely. Instead of the usual sharp acidity of Hunter Semillon, you get a wine with genuine texture and softness. It preserves that core of citrus fruit but wraps it in a savoury, creamy layer that makes it delicious right now.

Production is tiny - just three barrels were made.
