✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Named in honor of Brokenwood's legendary managing director and winemaker Iain Leslie Riggs (ILR), who joined the estate in 1982, the ILR Reserve Semillon represents the pinnacle of Hunter Valley white winemaking. This iconic wine is crafted from exceptional Semillon grapes sourced from the sandy, alluvial flats of the Hunter Valley. Following the traditional regional style, the juice is fermented cool in stainless steel tanks with no oak contact and no malolactic fermentation, capturing the absolute purity of the grape. What makes the ILR Reserve truly extraordinary is its extended bottle aging program; Brokenwood holds this wine in their cellars for up to six years before release. This patient maturation allows the wine to magically transform from a tight, high-acid, citrus-driven youth into a complex, multi-layered masterpiece showing notes of beeswax, toasted brioche, and lemongrass, all achieved without a single splinter of oak.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Brokenwood Wines blev grundlagt i 1970 af Sydney-advokaterne Tony Albert og John Beeston samt den anerkendte vinkritiker James Halliday, og det hele startede på en beskeden parcel på 10 acres i Pokolbin i New South Wales' Hunter Valley. Gennem årtier har vingården under ledelse af den erfarne direktør og chefvinmager Iain Riggs udviklet sig fra et passioneret weekendprojekt til en af Australiens mest prestigefyldte og toneangivende producenter. Brokenwood arbejder ud fra en filosofi om præcis, minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroiret og den rene druesortskarakter får lov til at skinne igennem – både i frugten fra egne marker i Hunter Valley og i nøje udvalgte parceller fra andre dele af Australien. Huset har opnået international anerkendelse for især sine sprøde, lagringsværdige Semillon-vine fra Hunter Valley og flagskibet Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, side om side med populære hverdagsklassikere som den ikoniske Cricket Pitch-serie.
