Jul 24th, 2016This is one of my favourite Semillons, a powerful combination of a waxy, herbaceous, aromatic nose and a full-bodied creamy mouthfeel. Drunk and enjoyed with salmon.

May 23rd, 2016Very cool bottle. Funky herbal oaky like white Bordeaux but with a little more fruitiness and waxiness. #southafricanwine #semillon #celerysoda

Jan 15th, 2016This wine has creamy white fruit on the nose, with hints of almond, spiced citrus and stonefruit. It shows an appealing freshness with blossoms and the typical minarality from this vineyard. The 2012 Semillon possesses an impressive weight on a rounded palate with its appealing texture and unmistakeable poise. With the lanolin and other tertiary flavors that will develop with bottle age, this wine will be one of the most complex and balanced ever to be produced from these 107 year old vines. The lively natural acidity was enhanced by blending a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc from Boekenhoutskloof.
