mehrere Informationen

The Benguela Cove Catalina Semillon presents itself with a youthful character and a slightly herbaceous grassy note. Its dazzling complexity pampers with exciting aromas of crisp green apples, sweet peas, fragrant lime blossoms, green plums and a touch of lanolin. Well-balanced, this is a small masterpiece with excellent length and fruit intensity, which is perfectly complemented and rounded off by a lively acidity and slightly salty nuances on the finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested by hand in the cool morning and sorted and crushed in the cellar. After two hours of skin contact, the juice was inoculated with yeast strain and 90% was fermented in barrel, the rest in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to allow maximum fruit and varietal expression. A total oak aging of nine months took place, 35% new 500L French oak barrels.

Total production is three barrels, ie 1400 bottles, sold after allocation.
