The Vat 1 Semillon is produced exclusively from fruit sourced from the best old-vine, dry-grown vineyards, primarily the Short Flat vineyard, with plantings dating back to 1923.
All fruit was hand-picked and sorted, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with minimal time on yeast lees before early bottling to preserve freshness, without oak fermentation or maturation.
Tasting Note:
Delicate citrus aromas. The palate has a density and depth of fruit which only comes from special vineyard blocks. This robust fruit profile is balanced by the wines texture and soft acid profile giving it an approachability now, however will age well into the future.
