Bottling Date January 2024
Production Details After a very long and cool ripening season our Semillon was harvested at the end of February 2024 at an average of 24°B for a fuller, more rounded wine. The grapes were crushed and de-stemmed with no prolonged skin contact. The clean juice was racked after settling in stainless steel tanks overnight. Fermentation took place in a variety of large format French oak barrels, after which the wine spent a further 3 months on the gross lees. Post-fermentation, the wine spent a further 10 months in a combination of 20% new, 20% second, with the balance third fill 500l and 600l French oak barrels before being racked into a stainless steel tank, where it was lightly fined and stabilised before bottling in January 2024.
