2018 | Benguela Cove | Catalina Semillon

This wine is ethereal, though commanding. Endless and romantic. It allures with complex aromas of sweet pea sprouts, lime leaves, lemongrass, quince, orange blossom, greenage, apple sherbet, white lily and fynbos. All these nuances reveal a remarkable fruit purity that lingers on the palate, etched with an oyster shell minerality and integrated acidity.
The elegant wine debunks the myth of Semillon as a workhorse in the 80’s. It is admired for its intensity and age-ability and this wine is the perfect example. It is a flagbearer for the estate, displaying definition and focus, complex yet genteel.
