TASTING NOTES
Colour: Pale straw with a hint of green.
Nose: Open inviting aromas of citrus, melon and grass with delicate floral nuances.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing with citrus and herbaceous flavours. Well balanced with a very pleasant mouth feel and a lingering aftertaste.
Overall: A dry refreshing well balanced fruity blend which makes for easy drinking. Enjoy young to fully appreciate the refreshing fruit character.

IN THE VINEYARD
Vineyard locations are selected according to the best quality grapes required for the intrinsics of the blend. Average yields between 8-10 tons/ha.

THE HARVEST
The grapes from the individual vineyards are harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness, which ensures true varietal character.

IN THE CELLAR
The grapes from each vineyard are vinified separately. A portion of the Chardonnay is wood matured and under goes malolactic fermentation. The Chardonnay and Semillon are blended together to create a wine in which the characteristics of the two varietals create a new expression of flavour and balance.
