Andrew Thomas 'Two Of A Kind' Ssb 2019
Andrew Thomas
Thomas Wines is not only one of the Hunter Valley’s most renowned winemakers, but nationally and internationally acclaimed for its exceptional single vineyard Hunter Valley wines. Thomas wines have gained somewhat of a ‘cult status’ for its small range of personality imbued wines, many of which offer both pure current drinking pleasure, as well as remarkable cellaring potential.
The first vintage was produced in 1997, with an absolute focus and determination to specialize in producing top-shelf examples of the two signature varieties of the Hunter Valley, Semillon and shiraz.
Over the years Thomas Wines have gathered an impressive folio of local growers, who each own and operate arguably some of the Hunter valley’s most distinguished sites, producing world-class, uniquely regional styles. Each wine showcases it’s unique vineyard signature and expresses a real sense of place. Kiss shiraz and Braemore Semillon sit at the top of an impressive range, many of which have become modern benchmarks for the Hunter Valley.
Having previously spent 13 years learning and applying his craft at Tyrrell’s, owner and winemaker Andrew Thomas now has over two and half decades of winemaking experience in the Hunter Valley. It’s the no-compromise, attention to detail approach to his winemaking that has seen him named as 2014 Hunter Valley Winemaker of the Year (having also previously won the award in 2008), as well as contributing to an impressive mantle piece of wine show trophies and medals, and enviable critical acclaim.

Our ‘Two of a Kind’ wines are a tribute to the multi regional blends that created some of Australia’s best wines in the 50’s and 60’s. The wines are based on the Hunter Valley’s signature varieties of Semillon and Shiraz, and blending with the varieties that are well suited to other South Australian regions providing an interesting twist and extra dimension to these unique wine styles.
This is a blend of Hunter Valley Semillon (55%) and Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc (45%). The Hunter Valley Semillon comes from the Braemore, OC and Fordwich Hill vineyards. The Sauvignon Blanc is pressed at Shaw and Smith the Adelaide Hills and then transported cold to the Hunter for fermentation. The two components are blended as soon as practically possible and then left on yeast lees for a period to build some extra textural complexity. Early bottling captures the freshness of fruit for which this style has become renowned.
