Briar Ridge Stockhausen Semillon 2023

It is always an education to drink Semillon with a few years bottle age, don’t miss this adolescent time because it can be truly rewarding. A hint of what’s to come and some comprehension of its trajectory. Here in the bottle, you’ll find a soft cheek of lemon, lotus flower and cream honey. Some green apple and pear tones, proving yes there is still a long way to go in this life cycle. Young almonds are still forming, milky with a snap of texture and a hint of beach sand. This is beautifully framed with stainless steel maturation to preserve every detail of crunchy fruit. This will continue to give over more of itself with every year in bottle. For now it is a treat, pair it with seared scallop and cauliflower cream.
