in the cellar : This is a well balanced wine with the lemony freshness of the fruit being well integrated with the spicy oak flavours. The wine has a smooth, creamy texture, a full, rich middle palate and a lingering aftertaste. A must for Semillon lovers. The grapes for this wine came from low-yielding, 70 year old bush vines and were picked at maximum ripeness. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels; with 50% being new and 50% used barrels; followed by 8 months of barrel maturation.
This Semillon goes exceptionally well with blackened fish, crayfish curry and other full flavoured seafood dishes.
