Semillon 2017 Limited Release
Grassy citrus fruit flavours and crisp acidity
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Vibrant yellow. Ripe varietal Semillon fruit with lime peel, citrus blossom, and a hint of freshly baled straw.
Wine Making
The fruit was harvested in the early morning with only a light pressings fraction. The ferment was initiated in stainless steel and transferred to 3 and 4 year old French oak puncheons for completion. The wine was matured in oak for a further 9 months before bottling.
Cellaring
Favourable vintage conditions in 2017 enabled us to produce some excellent white wines with intensity of flavour and great depth of varietal fruit. With superb balance and integrated flavours. A versatile food wine, try pairing with a zesty lemon seafood risotto. Drink now or cellar for another year.
