100% Semillion
Richness and brightness in perfect balance. Delicate floral notes - honeysuckle, orange blossom, rose water - are laced with vibrant fruit notes - lychee, cantaloupe, green almond, white peach. Mouth-filling texture lingers on the palate with remarkable length and notes of frangipane, pecorino, and lemon.
