Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2018

Sourced from their trio of vineyards again, this vintage sees a much higher percentage of Semillon used in the blend. 44% for this wine, with 56% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation is in a mix of French oak and stainless steel. Maturation is on lees, for fifteen months, in a mix of 78% barrel and 22% stainless steel. Bright yellow hue. This is redolent of florals and citrus, dry herbs and spices with good concentration throughout. Impressive length too, though it does offer a gentle fade. Appealing notes of lemon emerge on the palate with a hint of minerals in supporting role. An attractive style which should age well, enjoy it over the next half dozen years.
