Tasting Notes
Carefully aged in our cellar for seven years and now drinking beautifully, this Semillon was 100% grown on our estate vineyards. The 2017 vintage was one of the great vintages of the decades for both red and white wines, and the quality and ripeness of the fruit speaks as clearly now as the day it was harvested.
The colour has matured to a straw-yellow colour but retains flecks of shimmery green in the glass. Aromas of honey and lemon butter now add complexity around the core of Meyer lemon and Tahitian lime zest, while on the palate the concentrated nucleus of Semillon fruit has now gained supporting notes of pink apple crunchiness and baked citron tart.
