WHITE - SEMILLON SAUVIGNON BLANC
- Vinification: Only 3000 bottles were produced. The grapes were specially hand selected and picked from vineyards close to the riverbeds. 5 % Noble Rot grapes add to the complexity of this wine. This wine was barrel fermented in French Oak, and only barrels that received the approval of the Familie were selected. The final blend is 88% Semillon and 12% Sauvignon Blanc. This is truly a wine for the educated palate – some things are better left unsaid.
- Style:
- Colour: Intense yellow-green appearance reflects the grape integrity.
- Nose: Very subtle honey-lime-spicy aromas linger in combination with the wood.
- Palate: Explosive, but elegant fruit opens up in bold expression of fresh ripe peach that is well rounded with lanolin and soft wood flavours that keep opening up. Layers of freshness! The palate confirms all that is picked up on the colour and nose.
