Overview

The McGuigan Bin Semillon is our most awarded wine. It is a perfect example of why the Hunter Valley is renowned as the premier region for Semillon in the world. This true Hunter style Semillon is a fresh light wine when young, then develops rich honey and toast characters with extended cellaring.

The 2019 vintage was the hottest season on record with more days over 40 degrees than the previous 20 years combined. This was buffered to some degree by the significant cooling over night. The result of no rain, and high temperatures was a very early harvest with extremely low yields. This in turn resulted in small, intensely flavoured berries with slightly elevated sugar levels.
