Light gold with green hue. Made from very ripe fruit, this complex Semillon shows ripe pear-peach aromas with a citrus zestiness that flows onto the palate. Well-integrated oak flavours create a caramel creaminess which compliments the typical lanolin oiliness and this leads to a long, silky mouth feel.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at a sugar level of 25° Balling on the 27th February 2002.
in the cellar : The grapes were crushed and de-stemmed, then pumped into Bucher membrane presses. After pressing the juice was allowed to settle clean for 24 hours. The clear juice was racked to a stainless steel tank where it was inoculated with yeast. After 3 days of cool fermentation, the juice was racked to new 225L French oak barrels to complete warm fermentation. The wine remained on the original fermentation lees for 6 weeks. Bâtonnage occurred twice and then the wine was racked out of the barrels to retain the fresh vibrant Sémillon flavours.
