The Saxenburg Private Collection Sauvignon Blanc Semillon flows into the glass of golden color with fresh green reflections and ensnares the nose with a wonderful bouquet of fine lemon, wax and marzipan and subtle nutty hints in the background. On the soft and opulent palate, this special drop spoils with elegant wood and citrus nuances, lanolin and a fine nuttiness. Fruity, full and long on the palate, the cuvée finishes clear and clean with a bit of youthful freshness on the finish and provides enjoyment of a special kind.

The grapes were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning, pressed on arrival in the cellar and left to rest under cool controlled temperature. Then the Sauvignon Blanc fermented in stainless steel tanks and the Semillon in wooden barrels, with the addition of two different yeast cultures. Once fermentation was complete, both wines aged on their lees for six months and were then blended and bottled. Malolactic fermentation was stopped for both wines.
