2021 Clare Valley
Semillon

The 2021 Clare Valley Semillon is delicate and elegant displaying a subtle richness, with flavours of citrus fruit and quince. A well balanced palate leading to a crisp, dry finish.

Tasting Notes

Colour – Pale straw yellow.
Aroma – Aromatic complex nose consisting of lemongrass, citrus fruits and quince, underlying tropical and cut grass nuances with a subtle creaminess.
Palate – Delicate and elegant but with a subtle richness. Citrus fruits and quince following through from the nose. Subtle oak spice but well integrated with a touch a creaminess. Balanced acidity that gives structure, length and a clean fresh finish.

Winemaking Notes

Machine harvested, destemmed and gently pressed. Fermented in stainless steel with a neutral yeast strain. Matured on yeast lees for 5 months in a mix of stainless steel and French oak. Stabilised filtered and bottled.

Vineyard
Notes

A weak La Nina event produced some good springs rains which really got things growing early in the season, minimal damaging weather conditions such as frost, wind and hail. Overall, a very cool growing season, with no major heatwaves, allowed for a slower ripening period than the last few years; which helped flavour development. This allowed us to harvest at optimum maturity without the sugar being too high.
