Semillon 2000

Oak Treatment	Nose	Palate	Food
50% of the wine was partially barrel fermented, then matured for six months in the new and one year in old American oak. Appearance Light Straw	Typical varietal Semillon aromas of fresh lemon and citrus peel, with hints of straw and graassy characters, underscored by smoky vanillian oak.	Ripe lemony, citrus fruit aromas carry through onto the palate, with the grassy, straw-like flavours adding complexity and depth to the crisp, fresh finish. there is a subtle, creamy texture to the palate, coming from the age on the yeast lees and the spicy, vanillian oak character lends persistence to the flavour length. Serve Chilled 8° - 12°	Wonderful with seafood particularly if dressed with creamy dressings or cooked in butter or oil, as the crispness of this wine freshens the palate after after oily food. Try it also with fresh antipasto.
