Consistently delightful, this Sémillon stands among the highly regarded wines in South Africa. Sourced from three locations in Franschhoek, where the vines were planted in 1902, 1936, and 1942. The wine boasts notes of fresh white peaches and nectarines, accompanied by a hint of lemon zest. The blend includes a touch of Muscat, contributing to a refreshing lift in the overall character of the wine.

The 2021 Semillon comes from two vineyards, one planted in 1942 (white sand plus granite) and another in 1902 (granite with quartz). It was whole bunch pressed and aged for 14 months in 70% new French oak. Blended with 3% Muscat d`Alexandria, also planted in 1902, it has a delineated, lanolin-tinged bouquet with a hint of green olive. The palate is beautiful, waxy in texture, with veins of lemongrass and lemon thyme, detailed and poised with impressive concentration on the finish. This will be a serious, long-term Semillon, and I know from first-hand experience how brilliantly they can age in bottle. This will be released in 2024.Neal Martin2nd November 2023
