Single Vineyard Oakey Creek Semillon 2014

Single Vineyard Oakey Creek Semillon 2014 second image
$95.00

Pale with green freshness. Lime leaf, fennel seed & chamomile tea on the nose. Light-bodied, pure & ethereal with massive latent power held in by tightly-wound acidity, fabulous structure, notes of quinine and lemon pith, and laser-like flavour & drive. Excellent focus.

This was the fourth year of First Creek making a single-vineyard Oakey Creek semillon. The wine saw some lees maturation post-ferment to add texture and palate weight. This wine is right in the pocket with bright lemon-butter tones accented with nutty cracked wheat and smoked nuts. The wine is powerful yet soft and highly refined with fabulous purity and is remarkably unevolved considering its age. It has energy and liveliness, which makes it particularly compelling. Utterly delicious now with potential for further development.
rich honey and toasty
Enjoy at 7 - 10 degrees until 2028 alongside aged cheeses, roasted vegetables, or a rich, creamy seafood bisque .

More about the Range

Single Vineyard

The Single Vineyard collection represents the most site-specific wines First Creek Wines produces — expressions tied to an individual block of vines, a named vineyard, and the precise combination of soil, slope, and microclimate that makes that site different from every other block in the Hunter Valley.

Each wine in the range is named for the vineyard of origin: Will's Hill Shiraz, Oakey Creek Semillon, and Creyke Shiraz are all drawn from parcels with documented histories and recognisable flavour signatures that go beyond what a regional or varietal blend can achieve. These are the wines that wine collectors and serious enthusiasts reach for — and that critics consistently score highly.

For further exploration of First Creek's premium range, see our Winemaker's Reserve collection and Museum releases. To taste the Single Vineyard wines alongside others from our range, book a guided tasting at our cellar door.
