June 29, 2019 - I had been wanting to try this for a while and my expectations were met.
A new take on Semillon. perhaps even a new breed completely.
Think of this as somewhere between a Sauvignon Blanc and an unwooded Chardonnay it is just delightful .
Light Gold in colour
Mineral/ aromatic /floral/flowery nose.
Om the tongue soft fruit delightful sweetness but not over ruling very east drinking morish in fact , fine grained, very little tannin and acid.
Light lemon/lime finish
I could drink this without restraint and finish a bottle on my own .
This is a beautifully balanced wine that required a lot of skill to make and I noticed that Gundog estate have taken this a step further with their Indomitus Albus which uses the Wild Semillon approach as it's base but projecting it to a new level.
I think we have stumbled on something new and unique with this Semillon and I predict as it becomes more available that demand will exceed production..........it is that good .786 views
