La Lune Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2008
The 2008 vintage was a vintage of extremes, with record breaking temperatures in march following on from a cooler-than average february, allowing for gentle ripening. With virtually no rainfall leading up to harvest, grapes arrived in excellent condition. Hand-picked fruit was used in the making of this blend, Comprising of 55% semillon and 45% sauvignon blanc and produced with components of natural yeast and high solids fermentation. 70% of the blend was aged on lees with minimal sulphur, and true to the traditional style, 100% of the sauvignon blanc component was fermented in new french barriques while the semillon was put into older barriques.
The nose is a complex blend of citrus and herbaceousness with notes of honey and hay. the palate exhibits good natural acidity and toasty vanillian oak making for a great old-world style savoury finish.
