Cape Jaffa Wines :: La Lune Semillon 2010

                             

LA LUNE
Semillon 2010
MOUNT BENSON

The La Lune range showcases wines which express true regionality and varietal distinctiveness with each vintage.

The 2010 vintage was a great one for Mount Benson, with low yields ripening early allowing for fruit to be indoors well before the April rains fell. Hand picked fruit, this 100% semillon is a first release for Jaffa, produced with components of natural yeast and high solids fermentation.  Three quarters of the blend was aged on lees with minimal sulphur and fermented in new French barr

.

This wine features strong aromas of lemon and peach, with tropical overtones.

The palate is full and intense, with layers of fruit supported by lashings of fine French oak, attributing to great length.
