Information about "Shannon Triangle Block Semillon 2021"
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.

Treatment in the cellar
The grapes for this vintage of Shannon Semillon come from a 15 plus-year-old vineyard plot covering 0.5 hectares. Fermented naturally in barrels, the Semillon was aged on the lees for 11 months in 30% new French oak barrels after fermentation, during which time it was regularly stirred (batonnage) to impart a beautiful complexity and richness to the wine.
