draytons 2nd generation

Generations range pays tribute to members of the Drayton Family, who distinguished themselves with extraordinary contributions to the betterment of the Drayton brand, as well as to the region's wine community.

Generations wines are a limited range, made only from the most highly rated vintages, using grapes carefully picked and graded to ensure premium quality. 

Susanne Drayton, depicted on the label, was the wife of William, Second Generation Drayton. He looked after the vineyards and made the wines, and She was the brains behind the business side, whilst raising their 10 children at the same time! 

Thanks to careful cellaring, this premium Semillon has developed creamy & toasty characters, for which aged Hunter Semillon is revered. Lovely stone fruit aromas, delicate citrus flavours, buttery texture and extremely long, satisfying finish. Absolutely delicious!

Beautiful with fresh seafood (oysters, sashimi, prawns), but it's simply outstanding with a cheeseplatter or even fish & chips!
