Winemaker Notes

Orange blossom aromatics, ripe peach and honeydew melon dominate an upfront nose, with savoury hints of dust, ginger spice and gentle lemon zest adding to its complexity. The citrus and stone fruit on the nose follow through with flavours of orange marmalade, preserved lemon and lime cordial. Clever oaky nuances bring richness, structure and texture to a fresh, vibrant mid-palate. The wine is medium to full bodied, with integrated acidity and focused intensity creating poise and balance. Blood orange, angelica, chamomile and spice linger on a slightly saline, soft, pithy finish.

Professional Ratings

95 James Suckling

Lemons, beeswax, cashews, pralines, peaches and salted butter on the nose of this wonderfully textured and creamy white. It’s full-bodied and elegant, minerally and nutty, with delicious salty undertones. Excellent length, showing a zesty freshness at the end. From old vines planted in 1902, 1936 and 1942. Drink or hold.

92 Vinous

The 2023 Sémillon comes from three vineyards, with the oldest vines planted in 1902 and 61% planted in 1936. Matured in 70% new French oak for 14 months, it has a glorious bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine and wax resin scents, beautifully defined. The palate has a fine line of acidity, bright and fresh, lovely texture with a pithy finish.
