Description
The wine is made from grapes grown on a vineyard that is situated on Table Mountain Sandstone soil. The wine was fermented with natural yeasts and then aged on the lees. The wine has a musky nose with ginger, quinine, lime zest, and cardamom. The wine is round on entry and then dense and concentrated in the middle with a saline element giving the spice and citrus flavors a tactile feel. The wine was vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of the wine.
The focus of this wine is based on a vineyard component arising from unique low yielding Table Mountain Sandstone soils. Using natural yeasts, Shannon Semillon expresses a very distinctive musky nose combining ginger, quinine, lime zest, cardamom in a minerally and flinty style.
The naturally fermented Semillon, matured on the lees, provides a fuller mouth feel and adds to the complexity of the wine. It is round on entry, then dense and concentrated in the middle, with a saline element giving the spice and citrus flavors a tactile feel that reminded one of an Old World version of this grape. This wine was vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of Semillon.
