Information about "Boekenhoutskloof Sémillon 2022"
The Boekenhoutskloof Sémillon reveals a delicate golden hue, captivating the senses with a bouquet of fragrant orange blossoms, ripe nectarines, aromatic lemongrass, and rich beeswax. On the palate, it starts gently, unveiling alluring notes of white peaches, mandarin, refined lemon cream, lime syrup, ginger, blood orange, and tarragon. This impressively full-bodied and opulent wine maintains a clear focus through its balanced acidity, providing a delightful lift to the intensity of the mid-palate. It concludes with a vibrant, subtly saline finish, echoing hints of poached quince, chamomile flowers, and fenugreek.
Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes underwent fermentation in barriques, clay amphorae, and concrete lagares. After fermentation, the wine aged for 14 months at a controlled temperature of 5 to 8°C. A small portion of Muscat d'Alexandrie was fermented on the skins and matured in clay amphorae.
