Lime and apple aromas layered with nuances of honeyed beeswax. The rich elegant palate of honey and citrus is perfectly balanced with well-integrated oak notes, minerality, and a delightful lingering creamy finish. Fans of Sémillon are sure to enjoy this balanced, complex wine which is an excellent expression of the Franschhoek terroir.
Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast strains. The must was fermented between 14 - 17 ̊C and the lees was stirred up daily. The wine was then left to age for a total of 11 months in barrel.

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.
