WINEMAKER NOTES
Sauvignon Blanc 85% Sémillon 15%
The Sauvignon Blanc was destemmed, crushed, then pressed, while the Sémillon was whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation started slowly at low temperatures (12°C) to preserve the aromatics and took 28 days to complete. Post-fermentation, the wines were blended to make this wine reminiscent of a traditional Bordeaux blend.
Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review: DECANTER 2023 - Lifted bouquet of lemon zest, melon and lilac, while the palate is graced with bright acidity and vibrant fruit. |
