Boekenhoutskloof Semillon 2016

A stunning aged South African Semillon.

The riper 2016 vintage year is reflected in the rich texture which we expect to eventually evolve into classic secondary notes of lanolin, lemon curd and beeswax. The nose is delicate and elegant with its grapefruit, greengage, chamomile and apple blossom aromas and whiffs of exotic spice. The floral character of the nose follows through onto a richly textured mid-palate, showing yellow peach, poached pear and nectarine against a backdrop of fresh mandarin and green fig flavours with integrated acidity and a full body. The ripe stone fruit character adds to the complexity on the palate and the spicy finish with hints of fenugreek, black cardamom and Cape fynbos complements a very balanced wine.
