Semillon 2003

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2003 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon – område: Franschhoek; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 13.2%. W.O. står ikke på arket; området er vinmarkernes beliggenhed ifølge arket (Franschhoek). Producentens noter (engelsk): Our prize Semillon from a combination of 60 year old and 100 year old Franschhoek vines grown on the sandy valley floor just outside the town of Franschhoek is acquired from a grower on a long term contract. The wine was cool fermented using a selected yeast in 100% new Dargaud & Jaegle, Allier & Vosges barrels. Partial malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in barrel and the wine was matured in our cold room at 5°C and left for 12 months without either batonnage or the addition of sulphur. The first sulphur was added at the final racking after 13 months in barriques. We added approximately 5% of our own Sauvignon Blanc to the blend and this certainly lifts the tail of the wine. The wine was bottled in August 2003 with filtration and without cold stabilization; therefore tartrates may appear.
