Semillon, originally known as the grape of Sauternes, has made a fantastic new home down under. In the Barossa Valley, with its warmer climate, they have reinvented Semillon in the classic Australian style. With lifted aromatics of orange blossom, lemon, and sugar snap peas, it is the perfect refreshing tipple for all occasions. Served chilled alongside a seafood salad or chicken satay for the ultimate treat.
Beneficio Semillon Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
This encapsulates the brilliance of Semillon from Australia very well with its herbaceous aromas and tropical flavours mingling amongst more tropical notes (blossom, orange peel etc). Think those with the addition of grassy notes, green pepper, ripe green apple, lime skin and even a touch of asparagus. It's complex and exciting.
