2009 Silvereye Semillon

Mistletoe-Silvereye-SemillonThe 12th vintage of this wine.

If you find traditional Semillon too dry then this is the wine for you. Light honey in colour with tinges of green, with some residual sweetness. The bouquet shows tropical fruit, green apples, citrus and grass. The palate is soft and lemony with balanced sweetness. A clean acid finish leaves the palate refreshed.

Excellent aperitif, complements Asian cuisine or spicy food. Also great with cold fruit salad or a cheese platter.

Cellar for 5 to 6 years, but best to drink young.

Serve well chilled. A low alcohol wine, 10% - ideal for lunch.
