Dornier Semillon 2016

The nose is bursting with flavours of lemon rind, fresh hay and honey, complemented by a waxy character. The palate is rich in flavours of sweet fruit, lemon meringue and lanolin, with a luscious full texture backed by a balanced acidity and lingering aftertaste.

in the vineyard : The grapes come from a sing site on the Dornier property, where the soil is made up of red and yellow decomposed granite. We select from the best vines on the site, which lie slightly elevated from the rest of the block on a steep slope. The yields are naturally low here, and we get concentrated fruit, full of flavour.

about the harvest: The grapes are hand harvested, allowing us to sort the fruit in the vineyard.

in the cellar : The juice was fermented in new and second fill 300L French oak barrels and aged on the lees for 10 months giving the wine a rich and creamy texture.
