Tasting Notes

Aroma

Lifted primary aromas of lemon rind, sherbert, fig and quince. This is followed by hints of more complex aromas of honey, lanolin and gingerbread biscuits.

Appearance

Bright condition, medium straw with green tints.

Palate

The palate has a zippy acidity that integrates with fresh primary characters of lemon, fig and green apple. The mouth-filling primary characters are combined with fine tannins to give a long finish. There is a pleasant lanolin-like oily texture in the mid-palate which gives the wine generosity and a smooth finish.

Vinification

The hand-picked fruit was delivered to the winery where it was hand- sorted and whole-bunch pressed. It was then clarified in stainless steel tank by flotation after which the clear juice was racked to stainless steel and inoculated with multiple yeast strains for primary fermentation. This was controlled to a maximum of 18°C and lasted for 11 days before all of the sugar was depleted. Once the wine reached dryness, it was racked off fermentation lees and prepared for bottling. We undertook fining trials and determined that none improved the balance and the wine remained unfined, apart from with bentonite for protein stability. After cold stabilisation and sterile filtration, the wine was bottled on 1st July, 2024.

Cellaring Potential

The 2024 Moss Wood Semillon is a beautiful young wine that's ready to be enjoyed now, and we’re pleased to recommend it to those who appreciate vibrant, youthful wines. For those willing to wait, however, this Semillon has the potential to age gracefully for decades. We suggest cellaring it for at least 10 years to develop its bottle bouquet. Even after this time, it will still be maturing and may need another decade to fully reveal its exceptional quality. These Moss Wood Semillon wines have proven themselves to live to 30 years plus, as great toasted and honeyed wines, even with a cork sealing them, which is what they had prior to 2005, if not cork tainted.
