Winemaker Notes
The Woodcutter's Semillon is a satisfying medium to full bodied wine that combines fresh citrus fruit characters with a faint nutty richness obtained from barrel fermentation. We have blended this wine for immediate enjoyment, but please keep some aside if you feel so inclined, Australian Semillon is known to age well and you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Readers looking for a delicious, crisp, honeyed, elegant, complex dry white need search no further than the 2005 Semillon Woodcutters. There are 3,000 cases of this tank and neutral wood-aged effort. Medium to full-bodied, pure, fresh, and lively, it offers hints of quince, buttery citrus, and honeysuckle."

Torbreck, founded in 1994 by David Powell, is situated at Marananga on the western ridge of the Barossa. Since that time he has produced some of the world's finest 'Rhone varietal' wines, exclusively from Barossa fruit; this has been acknowledged by the wine press in Europe, America and Australia. The overwhelming majority of his vines are dry-grown, nearly all are 80 - 125 years old and are tended and harvested by hand.
The wines have an extraordinary combination of power, intesity, complexity and great finesse, and bearing in mind the age of the vines and the laughably low yields, no Torbreck wine could ever be accused of being heavy, cloying or over-extracted.
