PRODUCT INFORMATION

Discover our Semillon, sourced from Certified Heritage Vineyards, some of South Africa's oldest. Planted in 1902 and 1942 on diverse soils, these vines produce intensely complex wines with remarkable ageing potential.

Benefiting from favourable 2021 weather, our Semillon ripened slowly, resulting in a mineral-driven vintage. Whole-bunch pressed grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in French oak barriques and concrete eggs for 14 months, enhancing texture and structure.

With aromas of melon and ginger spice and flavours of poached pear and fresh lemon, our Semillon offers pure elegance from sip to finish—a true testament to South African winemaking heritage.

	South Africa
APPELLATION:	W.O. Franschhoek
GRAPES:	100% Semillon
AROMA:	The nose is upfront, fresh and inviting, with aromas of mandarin orange, tangerine peel, pineapple and fragrant blossoms and gentle whiffs of angelica, lemon verbena, nettles and spicy oak nuances all adding intensity to the citrus character.
PALATE:	Layers of vibrant, pure flavours of kumquat, grenadilla, yellow apple and preserved lemon dominate a lively and complex mid-palate. The slightly savoury, spicy character of the nose follows through with hints of chamomile, marmalade, and beeswax. The wine is fleshy, full, and textured, yet zesty, elegant and balanced, with a beautiful salinity lingering on a pure, taut, slightly pithy finish.
