Elegant and expressive, the Rickety Bridge The Pilgrimage Sémillon 2021 opens with a fresh, zesty nose of citrus and lime, layered with delicate floral undertones. The palate is rich and textured, revealing indulgent notes of honey, nougat, and citrus, beautifully balanced by a touch of caramel sweetness.
A lingering finish enhances the wine’s depth and sophistication. Perfectly paired with roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, or mild cheeses, this Franschhoek Sémillon is both complex and refined.

Rickety Bridge Wine Estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive wineries in the Cape. The historic winemaking cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation center, the new winery was built and modern cooling equipment was installed. The newly built wine-tasting center is the perfect place to sample 200 years of winemaking tradition: taste these delightful Franschhoek wines in comfort, al fresco in summer on the winery veranda, or relaxing in front of the fire in winter. The pleasures of these outstanding South African wines extend beyond the bottle.
