Briar Ridge, Dairy Hill Semillon, 2022

Top 100 aus wine, 97pts, it’s a jaw-dropping line-up of ratings and trophies.

Sod’s law - Briar’s Ridge is produced in very limited quantities - particularly from their unique ‘Dairy Hill’ vineyard block.

Pure Semillon fruit aromas of Kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass, a crisp refreshing palate of citrus fruits and subtle savoury thyme with a mouth coating texture.

Some wonderful mineral wet stone on the finish, keeping the glass coming up like a yo-yo.

I really do think you can’t ignore ratings like this - you’ve just got to see what the fuss is about.
