Appearance and Aromatics:
The 2022 Semillon presents a striking pale gold hue, inviting you to discover its rich bouquet. It effuses complex aromas of apricot, cinnamon, and dried pear, complemented by subtler notes of orange blossom, elderflower, and gunflint. The sensory journey continues with hints of persimmon, enhancing the wine’s aromatic depth.

Palate and Texture:
On the palate, this Semillon unfolds with flavors of quince, hay bale, litchi, and lime, enriched by undertones of roasted almonds. The fruit is poised and concentrated, anchoring the mid-palate before broadening into a rich, almost waxy texture. The finish is marked by bright acidity and a lingering aftertaste of citrus and floral spices, promising a long and evolving drinking experience.

Ageing Potential:
The 2022 vintage is not only enjoyable in its youth but is also crafted for longevity. With its complex flavor profile and structured acidity, it promises to gain further richness and complexity with additional bottle aging.

Award Pedigree:
This wine follows in the footsteps of its highly acclaimed predecessors, earning a consistent pedigree of high ratings and awards. Notable accolades include 4.5 stars in the Platter’s Wine Guide for multiple vintages and a high score from the Tim Atkin South Africa Report.
