Label reads: "The 1977 vintage has produced white wines with full rich fruit character and the soft acid finish of the traditional Hunter White styles. This vintage the grapes were subject to extremities of weather conditions with hot, dry growing and ripening period and heavy rain during vintage. The Semillon grapes for this wine were picked at full maturity and in good condition from the old vines on our Short Flat vineyard. The juice was fermented cold in old German Oak casks and bottled in June, 1977 to produce a wine with great fruit flavour on the palate, a lifted bouquet and crisp acid finish. I believe this wine to be a true Hunter Semillon style and one that will develop and improve with many years bottle aging. Murray D. Tyrrell. Winemaker."
