Boekenhoutskloof Semillon 2019 750ml

1902 vineyard fruit bought since 1997. 1936 and 1942 own-rooted, bush-vine vineyards added later. 40% Sémillon Gris. 80% fermented in barriques, 20% in concrete eggs. 14 months’ maturation at low temperatures. Pale lemon. Complex nose already, with varietal ripe lemon and wax notes coupled with nutty, creamy oak and some pepper spice likely from the Gris component. Bright acidity lifts the rich, ripe lemon and brown-spice palate. Long and textured, slightly saline, finish.
