Idiom Semillon 2023
R250.00
On Back Order
Available mid-November
A fresh, greener take on this part barrel-fermented Idiom Semillon. Ethereal perfume of lemon and lime zest and saline notes combine with aromas of yellow custard, vanilla and white spices on the nose. Hints of green apple, pear, white peach, stone fruit and biscuit on the palate evolve into Semillon’s typical waxy textured mouthfeel. A wine that will develop more structure from cellaring. A definite food companion. Enjoy with scallops, white meats, or dishes with cream sauces. Enjoy chilled.

| 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. |
