It first came to Australia in the early 1800’s. The best-known Semillons in Australia come from the Hunter Valley where it’s known as Hunter Riesling. France, Portugal, Israel,Tunisia, Australia, South Africa, California and South America (especially Argentina and Chile) grow Semillon and do it very well. By the 1820’s Semillon accounted for over 90% of all South African plantings. By 1997, plantings of the ‘green grape’ as it is known due to its bright green leaves were down to less than 1% of Cape vineyard.Australia has almost 17,000 acres planted to Semillon (2002 data). The Bordeaux in France has over 30,000 acres of Semillon and California has close to 3,000 acres planted. Semillon was at one time the most widely planted white grape in the world.
