Description

We planted Semillon as cuttings direct in the vineyard in 1998, and nurtured then through many difficult years, of which 2016 was one of the best. Plentiful rain led to decent canopy growth and yield. The resulting wine is on the fruitier side, medium bodied developing classic turpentine and minerally layers over vibrant citrus. Delicious and still getting better.
