(Notes from the 2017 vintage)
South Africa
semillon
deep

The La Colline vineyard bears witness to an extraordinary winemaking heritage: this plot is planted with Sémillon gris vines, which have disappeared from the rest of the world. This cuvée therefore showcases South African identity in all its splendor: great depth, density, and a texture typical of old Sémillon vines.
