Is Sémillon a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Very nice Sémillon from Franschhoek. This is a blend of that stems from the oldest Semillon vines in RSA, nearly 120 years in the oldest plot, at least 80 years in the others. Some vines have naturally mutated to Semillon Gris which has some pink color.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fresh green apple notes with a strong citrus character dominate the nose of this wine. With time the rich waxy lanolin flavors will overpower these more primary fruit flavors. Well integrated oak adds to the depth and complexity of this wine. Franschhoe
