Knappstein Lenswood Semillon

Price: £8.23

Quantity:

Stock Level : 3

All vines were extensively leaf plucked to give good bunch exposure and so develop ripe fruit flavours. To achieve a more fruit driven style more juice was tank fermented, including that from the 1986 plantings which we considered the best and which had previously fermented in barrel.

The balance was fermented in some new and mainly one year old French oak barriques, and was left on its yeast lees and stirred fortnightly to gain richness and complexity from this lees contact. Part was also allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation.

The result shows typical cool climate Semillon characters, with citrus, white melon, smoke and cut grass on the nose plus gentle oak. The palate repeats these characters, and is complex and elegant with lingering flavours and a dry finish.
