2021 Sigurd Reserve Semillon

Old vine Semillon, around 110 years from the sandy soils of Vine Vale - these organically farmed vines produce very low yields which show a focused and concentrated wine each year. 2021 was a cool and wetter vintage which allowed for a longer ripening period which shows through in the wine with more finesse and structure.

The fruit was picked mid February and fermented in 4-year-old french hogshead, full malolactic fermentation and left on elevage for 12 months before being racked off lees and hand bottled. A small amount of sulfur was added before bottling

This wine benefits from a decant and can be drunk over a couple nights. Drink now or forget about it in the cellar for the next 10 years, and watch it evolve.
