Wine Details
Price:
$19.00 per bottle
Description:
Pale yellow in color with silver hues, offering a spectrum of aromas of citrus, pear, honey, vanilla and exotic fruit. Crisp, round, and nicely balanced between the minerality, the fruit, and the barrel attributes. Flavors linger on candied citrus, fresh verbena, vanilla and a touch of hazelnut. This wine is very food friendly, it pairs very well with fresh goat cheese, seafood and of course, it is outstanding enjoyed in front of warm fire.

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.
