This 2023 blend balances zesty Sauvignon Blanc with lush Semillon, offering bright citrus, ripe peach, and subtle oak spice with a smooth, wavy texture.
Sauvignon Blanc dominates the nose with juicy grapefruit, pineapple, peaches and cream and a wet stone minerality. The palate shows ripe grapefruit and peach with more character coming from the Semillon - lemon curd, beeswax and honey with a subtle oak spice.
2023 growing season was generally cooler until a late summer heat spike accelerated ripening. Each variety was fermented and aged separately in French oak barrels and puncheons. Trials were done to determine the perfect blend and balance between the two. Sauvignon Blanc brings the zesty, aromatic intensity and brightness while Semillon contributes softer, subtler nuances and a nice waxy texture. The perfect yin and yang.
