$17.95 per bottle
Description:
This Semillon is quite different from the estate version. When the grapes came in from the vineyard they were whole-cluster pressed, which would assist to reduce the astringency and increase fruit intensity. The grapes for this wine were then selected and put into French oak barrels for six months of oaking, to add greater complexity to the wine. Six months of barrel aging gives a smokiness to the nose which gives way to flavours of gooseberry and pear. The finish is long with hints of citrus. Bottled on January 15, 2005, only 250 cases made.
