Description:
This 2010 Semillon displays bright hues of youthful yellow. Aromas present fresh and youthful lemon zest and lemon butter with light notes of citrus and a subtle toasted vanillin background. Flavors of lemon citrus and fig combine with attractive roasted French oak. This is a very pretty and elegant white wine. Enjoy!

Varietal Definition
Sémillon:
A thin skinned grape producing wines of high extract and flavour but soft acidity. In France it combines with Sauvignon Blanc to make the white wines of Bordeaux, most notably the sweet dessert wines of Sauternes and Barsac. Its thin skin leaves it susceptible to the fungus botrytis* the much sought after 'noble rot' in these sweet wine regions. As a varietal it has fared best in Australia, notably the Hunter Valley, where it produces well-rounded wines with lots of tropical fruits and honeyed tones. Here too it is blended with Chardonnay and oak aged to give an added dimension.
