2003 Vintage - SOLD OUT
The 2003 Semillon is pale straw in colour and has a delicate bouquet that expresses up front citrus followed by more complex malo yeasty characters. The latter are the result of 16 months barrel maturation.

The citrus and malo characters continue through to the palate. They are round and silky on the mid palate and the wine finishes with lively, fresh acidity. Serve lightly chilled.

Food matches
The Semillon is particularly enjoyable with grilled or barbequed fish or shellfish, using simple fresh ingredients. Perhaps a drizzle of Lemon Myrtle olive oil, chopped parsley, a splash of Semillon, salt and pepper and accompanied by a garden salad. Keep the food very simple and light and you won’t be disappointed. Scallops eat very well with the wine. It also teams well with Spaghetti Marinara.

The wine can also accompany seafood with creamy sauces. It has good acid to cut through the cream in the sauce and in winter would be more appropriate but at this time of year my preference is for the wine to be enjoyed with lighter style seafood meals.

Fromage de Meaux matches very well with the Semillon. Another French cheese which complements the wine is the washed rind Saint-Nectaire.
Gouda is also a pleasant accompaniment.

2005 Vintage
A refreshing and delicate Semillon, with lively lime and soft yeasty characters on the nose and palate, the latter resulting from its secondary barrel ferment in aged French oak. A pleasant hint of honey is also detectable as the wine finishes.

Enjoy now or cellar for 2 years. Alcohol 12.5%

Ideal for warmer summer days, this crisp wine drinks beautifully with white fleshed seafood especially prawns and fish and chips.
