CWG Semillon 2010

Distinctive cool climate minerality with nettles, green fig and dusty dry fynbos; expressive of Elim provenance. The small portion that was fermented in French oak has added complexity and length with smoky bacon aromas. Firm acidity for mouth watering freshness.

Ideally suited to food and fresh enough for solo enjoyment.
