2000 SEMILLON SAUVIGNON BLANC

 
back    
   

This wine is a blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2000 vintage produced a Semillon of intense flavour and fruit density, so much so that the usual balance of predominantly Sauvignon Blanc was reversed and the Semillon was given the star role.

 
 
     
Tasting notes   Reviews
     

The Semillon has been tank fermented as in previous years, to maintain the vitality and the fruit freshness, while the Sauvignon Blanc component was fermented in new oak, with wild yeasts.

The nose is intense with honeysuckle, musk, citric and grassy aromas. The new oak treatment and the excellence of the fruit gives a long and pleasantly assertive finish.

This wine has the potential to develop very well in the bottle for 5-10 years, but is also delightful drinking now, especially with fish, mild Asian Food and crustaceans.
