The idiom Semillon is a complex wine of medium to full-bodied character - a wonderful example of a Semillon aged in barrels. The nose is enchanted by a delicate potpourri bouquet with aromas of fragrant quince and white pepper. On the opulent palate, lavishly rich nuances of lanolin and vanilla pudding open up. A well structured wine with a nice weight!

The grapes for the idiom Semillon were harvested in the early hours of the morning and immediately transported to the refrigerated cellar, where they were stored overnight at a controlled temperature. The next morning, the grapes were first sorted by bunch before being destemmed and each berry individually selected. The berries were immediately transferred to the press, whereupon the juice obtained was subjected to a three-day rest period. The clear juice was fermented 100% in barrels with the addition of selected yeast cultures and matured in barrels for a further 6 months after the end of fermentation before being bottled lightly filtered.
