Boekenhoutskloof
Sémillon
Fascinating wine. Tasted almost Demi Se. Rich and unctuous with beeswax, Binet comb and golden pear. Great Foie pairing

Jan 23rd, 2023Clear, star bright and pure green lemon, low concentration and medium plus viscosity.
Clean, medium intensity aromas of Mango, banana, yellow flower of orange blossom,mineral of stony.
Dry, medium plus body and medium alcohol, medium acidity and medium plus finish and medium complexity. This wine is round and muscular, better for ageing. $228
