:: 2004 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (750ml) **Special Museum Release**
2004 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (750ml) **Special Museum Release** #16169
The ratio of Sauvignon Blanc to Semillon is varied each year to reflect the relative qualities of these two varieties in that vintage. Thus, in 2003, when the Semillon was particularly outstanding, it contributed just over half of the final blend. However, in 2004, the Sauvignon Blanc vines yielded such superb fruit that it was decided that this variety should be dominant. The final ratio selected for the 2004 vintage was therefore 77% Sauvignon Blanc to 23% Semillon. The fruit was picked over Baumés ranging from 11.8 to 13.5 for the Sauvignon Blanc and from 11.3 to 13.0 for the Semillon. This range thus combines both fresh and ripe characters and thereby contributes to the wine’s complexity. Eighteen percent of the wine was fermented in new French barriques using wild yeast.
Colour: Pale straw with green tinges.
Bouquet: Delicate combination of honeysuckle, cut grass and citrus fruit aromas.
Palate: Subtle pineapple and grapefruit flavours are perfectly balanced by the crisp acidity. Palate has great length, which is due, in particular, to the natural yeast fermentation.
Cellaring: 10 years.
Food: Oysters, crustaceans, fish and mild Asian dishes.
