Semillon 2006

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2006 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon – område: ikke angivet; druer: Sémillon; alkohol 13.3%. Producentens noter (engelsk): There are rumours of the 2006 vintage being perhaps the white wine vintage of the decade. We harvested all the fruit before the rains hit the cape wine lands in late February, which meant we had clean grapes without disease and berry bursting. By avoiding the diluting effect of rain water we were able to harvest gapes with more concentration. It takes normally a few years of bottle maturation in order for the secondary and tertiary flavours to develop bringing richness and depth in the form of lanolin to the wine before it is of any particular interest. This cannot be said for our 2006 Boekenhoutskloof Semillon which is displaying a lot more primary fruit interest compared to previous vintages.
