2016 McWilliam's Inheritance Semillon Sauvignon Blanc AWS
2016 McWilliam’s Inheritance Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Grape varietal: Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Vineyard Region: New South Wales
Vinification and Maturation: Fruit was carefully selected and harvested in the cool of the early morning. At the winery the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and chilled with the juice allowed to drain quickly from the skins. After cold natural settling, the clear juice was racked off, warmed and inoculated with natural yeast strain selected to enhance the varietal fruit characters of the two grapes varieties. The fermentation was slow and cool to assist in retaining natural fruit flavours and aromas. After fermentation, the wine was blended to the style set by winemaking, then prepared for bottling with gentle fining, stabilisation and filtration Colour: Pale straw with green hues. Aroma: Green apple and passionfruit with a hint of freshly cut grass Palate: Light and refreshing wine, showing citrus and tropical fruit flavours balanced by the grassy nuances of Semillon. A textural wine complemented with an acid backbone. Alcohol: 12%
pH: 3.16
Peak Drinking: Drinking beautifully now.
Residual Sugar: 2.0 g/L
