Browse by Grape - Semillon
The 'other' main white grape of Bordeaux, responsible for the extraordinary richness of dry whites such as Haut Brion Blanc and the incredibly intense dessert wines such as Yquem. In its dry style it has a rich grapefruit flavour, but is excellent for sweet dessert wines because of its susceptibility to botrytis or 'Noble Rot'.

The nose reveals notes of citrus zest, candied fruit and flowers combined with hints of dried apricot along with slight notes of spice and minerality. The palate is fresh, balanced, mineral and offers a good tension. In the mouth it expresses notes of citrus zest, green lemon zest and slight notes of apple, dried apricot and peach. Good length on the finish.
