Thomas Wines Two of a Kind bottlings are a tribute to the multi-regional blends that created some of Australia’s most famous wines in the ’50s and ’60s. The Hunter Valley Semillon portion of the blend (68%) is from an early picked block in the Braemore vineyard, while the Sauvignon Blanc (32%) was sourced from the Adelaide Hills (from the Saint & Scholar/Kaesler Co. sites), pressed at Kaesler Wines and then transported cold to the Hunter Valley. The two components were blended as soon as possible and left on lees to build textural complexity. The wine was bottled early to preserve as much freshness as possible.

It’s highly aromatic with clear and pure aromas of citrus and some tropical support. The palate is bouncy and refreshing, with crystal-clear fruits, fleshy texture, lively acidity, plenty of punchy flavour and a thirst-inducing close. Even at this price, Thomas will not skimp on quality, an ethos that shines through in the fine value on offer.
