SÉMIO Creation 23 (2o23):
Alcohol content 13,5% by vol., dry.
Picked from the “Unger” terroir on Oct 22.
SÉMILLON (pronounced: „Sémio“) is considered to be the queen of the white wine varieties, on pare with the Sauvignon Blanc variety. Cultivated especially in the “New World” countries of South Africa, Australia, Argentina and New Zealand as well as California, because the grapes deliver a massive and powerful (sweet) wine. My attempt to creatively cultivate this variety into a lively and youthful-fruity wine appear to have paid off. Delicate fruity nuances of grapefruit, lime, gooseberries, and a hint of wild herbs. Lusciously juicy with a playful and fruity acidity on the palate. – Ideally served with starter plates, asparagus, vegetables and fish & seafood (serve at 10°C).

*PLATINUM (Pinot Gris) 2o23
Alcohol content 14% by vol., dry.
Harvested from the Unger terroir on the 18th of September.
*Platinum (lat.): this precious metal exhibits the same noble grey sheen as the ripest berries from the Pinot Gris vine. Aged for four month in a 300 liter acacia wood barrel. After the harvest the grapes were cold macerated over night, providing this years vintage a pink hue. Roasted almonds, honey and rosemary aromas for the nose. Densely creamy, concentrated and powerfully meaty on the palate. Constant sweetness and delicate glaze as well as mineral flavours in the finale. Outstanding potential. – Perfect companion for lamb and other roasted meat dishes, pates, foie gras and well aged cheeses (enjoy and serve at about 13O C).
