Product information "Shannon Triangle Block Semillon 2019"
The Shannon Triangle Block Semillon ensnares the nose with a complex and musky bouquet of seductive aromas ranging from ginger and quinine to lime zest, cardamom and fine minerality. This naturally fermented Semillon ensnares the palate with a full and rich mouthfeel, remarkable complexity and density. Its subtle salinity gives the delicious spicy and citrus nuances a touch of grip, which is very reminiscent of the old world Semillon version.

The grapes for this seventh vintage of Shannon Semillon come from a 14-year-old vineyard plot of 0.5 ha. The Semillon, naturally fermented in barrels, matured for 11 months after fermentation in 30% new French oak barrels.The wine was then regularly stirred (batonnage) to transfer a beautiful complexity and fullness to the wine.
