2017 Semillon
Medal One
Medal Two
All lemons and limes with a hint of perfumed talcum powder. Semillon fruit in its purest form conjuring up an image of wet stone. Dominated by a fruit bowl of tangy citrus flesh, pith and peel. The chalky tannin profile sits with the green apple crunchy acid that drives the palate.

Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed for the purest juice. A cool fermentation with neutral yeast to preserve aromatics. All completed in stainless steel tank and bottled early to capture its vibrancy and freshness.
