Semillon 2004

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2004 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon – område: Franschhoek; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 13.1%. W.O. står ikke på arket; området er vinmarkernes beliggenhed ifølge arket (Franschhoek). Producentens noter (engelsk): Our prize Semillon from a combination of 45 year, 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 selected yeast in 100% new Dargaud & Jaegle, Allier & Vosges barrels. No malolactic fermentation occurred and the wine was matured in our cold room at 8°C and left for 13 months without either batonnage or the addition of sulphur. The first sulphur was added at the final racking after 13 months in barriques. We blended approximately 5% of our own Sauvignon Blanc to the blend and this certainly lifts the tail of the wine. The wine was bottled in July 2005 with filtration and without cold stabilization; therefore tartrates may appear. The wine is kept back for a further 15 months after bottling prior to release.
