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!

Das Traubengut für diesen sechsten Jahrgang des Shannon Semillons stammt von einer 13 Jahre alten Weinbergparzelle von 0.5 ha Größe. Der auf natürliche Art im Fass fermentierte Semillon reifte nach Abschluss der Gärung 3 Monate lang in 30 % neuen französischen Eichenfässern auf der Hefe und wurde unterdessen regelmäßig aufgerührt (batonnage), um eine schöne Komplexität und Fülle in den Wein zu übertragen.
