Semillon from the cool climate Elgin Valley has layers of complex fruit top notes of citrus, apples, pears and green papaya. The bees wax and lanoline texture balances the fresh acidity to provide a wine of harmony and balance from entry to finish on the palate.

Semillon grapes were selected from a single vineyard in Elgin on a sandy top layer with sedimentary clay underlying.

Eight months in neutral 225L French barrels. The wine is approachable in its primary stage with bright, fresh, vibrant fruit aromatics and may age well for five to eight years under optimal cellar conditions. Primary citrus, fresh apple and papaya fruit aromatics may evolve into spicey baked apple with an accentuated beeswax/lanoline texture.

Tasting Notes: Semillon from the cool climate Elgin Valley has layers of complex fruit top notes of citrus, apples, pears and green papaya. A rich, full, and creamy texture (beeswax/lanolin character) that is balanced by a fresh, zesty acidity. The flavors on the palate include quince, lemon meringue, and brioche, with a lingering aftertaste. The wine is approachable now but has the potential to age well for five to eight years under optimal cellar conditions, during which primary fruit aromatics may evolve into spicier, baked apple notes.
