david Franz Long Gully Road Semillon

We could tell you a lot about this wine – but nobody has quite the way with word that Dave Lehmann does! So, let’s let the man himself describe this delicious wine…. Dave, over to you!

“Semillon… Thou art so beautiful delicious crispy and refreshing. Like generations of Australians who can’t imagine breakfast without a slice of Vegemite smeared toast, I just can’t imagine a summer evening without an ice cold glass of Semillon.

My expression of Semillon, as captured in the 2022 Long Gully Road is exactly how I like to drink it; picked at the critical point where ascendant ripeness meets natural acidity. The characters I strive to encapsulate are the lemons and dry summer grass over a background of delicious herbal notes. There’s always a slightly wild edge to my Semillon that keeps it real in the glass and alive in the mouth. Zesty lemon curd pie with a smooth honeyed finish. Balanced fruit and textural mouth weight fill the mouth with the light delicate combination of pure varietals, herbal leaves and yeast complexity. The super light and clean palate lingers on beautifully leaving the mouth ready for the next sip.”
