The Pilgrimage Semillon 2017

Initial freshness on the nose that opens up to a complex citrus and zesty lime with underlying floral aromas. A full, rich palate of honey, nougat and citrus is perfectly balanced with caramel sweetness and a lingering finish.

Will pair with dishes such as; Breyani, chicken curry, roast pork, seafood, shellfish, roast chicken & Paella. A versatile wine which can be paired with
many dishes.
