Semillon, a traditional blending partner of Sauvignon blanc, fulfils vital roles in toning down racy edges and adds to ageing potential.This vintage sees the majority Semillon fermented in old oak, partially permitted to undergo malo-lactic fermentation, in order to build palate breadth and texture.
A number of vineyards, mostly planted to SB11, SB316 and SB317 clones, contribute to this wine. Further aromatic complexity is gained by employing a range of yeast strains, each selected to complement a set of fermentation conditions.Bottled in June 2023.
