Description
These 100 percent semillon grapes were harvested from a small single block of 1000 vines. A process of wild fermentation was used to produce the Saartjie Semillon, therefore no commercially produced yeast was added. This ensures that the primary and secondary flavours are true to its form, straight from the grapes. This guarantees a rich, well-balanced masterpiece. Pronounced citrus and floral notes are immediately evident with a subtle oaky finish. A beautifully balanced wine with a great textural mouth feel that offers an aging potential of 5 years and more.
