Idiom Semillon 2020

R250.00

A complex, medium to full-bodied example of barrel-fermented Semillon. Delicate custard and subtle lime-cordial aromas with musk and white spice notes. A voluptuous, waxy mid-palate with hints of asparagus, white pepper and biscuit reveals Semillon’s zesty, rich character and inherent structure. A wine that will benefit from cellaring and a definite food companion. Enjoy with scallops, white meats, or dishes with cream sauces.

Vinification Details

The grapes were picked in early morning and transported to the cold container for overnight storage. The next day the grapes were first bunch sorted before being de- stemmed and the berry sorted. The berries went straight into the press, and the juice there after was settled for 3 days before being racked and inoculated for fermentation. The wine was fully barrel fermented and aged a further 6 months, before being lightly filtered and bottled.
