2024 Block 17 Semillon
Introducing our 2024 Sémillon. Sémillon is a grape that is highly adaptable to a range of vineyard climates, from warm to cool. Aromatics of bright tangerine and candied ginger present in the foreground while dewy beach grass lingers in the background. Forward fruit showcasing grilled lemon and refreshing orange citrus transfer through and linger on the finish. Ⓥ
Sémillon is originally from the French region of Bordeaux, and is now grown all around the world but somewhat rare to find, David Hill’s Sémillon was fermented in various size neutral barrels for 8 months. Dry, complex, refreshing.
