"96 Points. This wine, like the above, comes from the Braemore Vineyard planted in the late 1960's by Ken Bray. Bright straw-green, it has a classic bouquet in the main stream of high quality, young semillon. The palate has tremendous thrust, drive and exceptional length, minerally acidity running alongside mouth-tingling, lemony fruit. Lower Hunter Valley, NSW. Drink: to 2020 with lemon-marinated fish" - James Halliday, Top 100 Wines, The Weekend Australian Magazine, November 14-15, 2009. 

"93 Points. With lime blossom and apple fruit, Alluvius is calm and elegant with very fine minerality. Restrained, reserved and sophisticated, Alluvius is a classic style that will live long. It has a very fine, long finish and well-defined acidity" - Tyson Stelzer, Wine 100, October 2009. 

"Our Alluvius Semillon comes from the Braemore vineyard on Hermitage Road in the lower Hunter Valley. This famous vineyard, under the charge of Ken Bray, was planted in the late 60's and consistently produces benchmark Hunter Semillon. The well drained, 'alluvial' soils lead to a unique expression of what is considered to be Australia's greatest white wine style." - Jim Chatto, Winemaker.
