Semillon 2005

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2005 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon – område: Franschhoek; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 13.5%. W.O. står ikke på arket; området er vinmarkernes beliggenhed ifølge arket (Franschhoek). Producentens noter (engelsk): This wine has been made since 1997 using 3 vineyards which are all on the same property in Franschhoek with the oldest being planted in 1899. Unlike the new clone Semillon that is being planted today, these grapes are small and thick skinned and lack the pyrazines compared to the New World Semillon. In the winery the grapes and must are handled oxidatively. The fermentation and consequent maturation occurs in 100% new French oak barrels. The wine spent 13 moths in barrique without any racking or batonnage. Malolactic fermentation is inhibited by barrel maturing the wine at low temperature in a cold room, thus retaining the malic acid. The wine was bottled without any cold stabilisation and matured a further 15 month in bottle prior to release.
