Wilyabrup Semillon
2023 Semillon
Margaret River, Western Australia
Lovely sweet lift of lychee and delicate jasmine florals, and hints of citrus and orange blossom, all with a fine misting of sea spray and oyster shell.
Description
Nose: Lovely sweet lift of lychee and delicate jasmine florals, and hints of citrus and orange blossom, all with a fine misting of sea spray and oyster shell.
Palate: A full bodied palate that is both textural with some richness initially, an engaging mid palate featuring sweet fruits of lychees, cumquats, and honeydew melon, all driven along the palate by a delicate yet integral acidity that gives the wine length for days.
Pairing: BBQ marron with a lime cream sauce. Vineyard: This is estate grown fruit from vines planted in 1983.
Winery: The fruit was picked in the coolest part of the night and processed immediately to capture the delicate flavours of the Semillon. Allowed to settle for a day the juice was racked and then inoculated for fermentation. After a Baume drop of 2, a portion was then drained to a new French oak puncheon to continue fermentation. Both portions were then left on lees for 8 months before being blended back together and bottled.
