In 2008 we hand picked four parcels of Semillon for our Reserve blend. The vineyards, whilst all situated in Pokolbin, showed remarkable individual qualities due to unique soil profiles and microclimates. Each vineyard was harvested at ideal ripeness levels between 10.0 and 11.0 Baumé. Juice was racked twice to minimise solids, and then fermented cool at around 13 degrees Celsius. Post ferment, the wines were racked from their lees after a minimal settling period before blending, and finally bottling just two months after harvest.

A very clear and bright wine, this young Semillon offers complex aroma’s of lemongrass and green apple. The elegant and textured palate features a finely balanced line of acidity directing intense flavours of pear and lime. The wine offers great length of flavour and will reward medium term cellaring of five toten years.
