Product information "Shannon Semillon 2016"
The special characteristics of the Shannon Semillon have their origin in the soil conditions of the soil in which the Semillon grapes for Shannon Vineyards grow. Table Mountain sandstone makes up the main part of the terroir and Shannon Semillon from this soil expresses an unmistakable bouquet of musk, ginger, quinine, lime zest and cardamom, integrated in the mineral gravelly style of this highly endowed wine. The Semillon, naturally fermented and matured on the yeast, gives this wine a fuller mouthfeel and a wonderfully appealing complexity. Round at the entrance, dense and concentrated on the middle palate with a subtle salty element that gives a tangible sensation to the fine spices and citrus nuances. A very special drop!

The grapes for this sixth vintage of Shannon Semillon come from a 13-year-old vineyard plot of 0.5 ha. The Semillon, naturally fermented in the barrel, matured on the lees in 30% new French oak barrels for 3 months after the end of fermentation and was regularly stirred (batonnage) in the meantime to transfer a nice complexity and fullness to the wine.
