Vrede en Lust Artisan Semillon 2014

Most of the Semillon is used in our Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon/ Sauvignon Blanc blend, Barrique, however this small bottling was done specifically for the Artisan Range of wines which is made for our Wine Club Members.

Semillon is one of Bordeaux’s most popular white wine grapes (the other being Sauvignon Blanc). This dry white wine was made from Semillon grown on our Elgin farm, Casey’s Ridge, and the vineyards were planted in 2007.

in the cellar : The wine was fermented in 500 litre 2nd, 3rd and older barrels and matured on fine lees for 10 months prior to bottling. A small percentage of tank fermented Semillon was blended back for freshness. The wine underwent no Malolactic fermentation.
