Tasting notes
A bit like a dry gin and tonic, the 2015 Semillon would be a great refresher on a hot summer day. Lemon and lime notes carry the suggestion of brininess and a hint of crushed stones lingers on the finish.

Pale gold. Sharply focused lemon zest, green apple and floral scents, along with a hint of chalky minerality. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering bitter citrus pith and fresh orchard fruit flavors that put on weight with air. Nicely concentrated yet light on its feet, finishing with impressive energy, firm cut and strong, stony persistence.
Simple, creamy, lovely texture here and a chewy grain which gives plenty of interest on the palate. The fruit profile is reasonably simple, but the structure and length is what makes it interesting. (RH)
