Information about "Opstal The Barber Semillon 2022"
The Opstal The Barber Semillon captivates the nose with an alluring bouquet of fresh citrus, beautifully complemented by notes of ripe nectarine and the elusive spice of fynbos. On the palate, it reveals a sophisticated interplay of flavors, including zesty lime, hay, and dried herbs, layered with hints of apricot and beeswax. This outstanding expression reflects the unique characteristics of alluvial soils, delivering a remarkable freshness and a lingering saline finish.
Following alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for ten months in 225L French oak barrels. The fermentation was spontaneous, utilizing naturally occurring yeast present in the environment and on the fruit, allowing this Semillon to develop into a truly terroir-driven wine.
