Viu Manent Noble Semillon Colchagua 2008

ITEM #VMNS08

Varietal: 100% Semillon

Viticulture & Vinification Notes: The grapes were sourced from San Carlos vineyard that features free draining loam and clay soils. At harvest, the fruit, which was sourced from 50 year old vines, was 90% effected with Botrytis Cinerea. The fruit was hand-harvest, pressed, and fermented in both stainless steel tanks as well as oak barrels before being barrel-aged for 7 months in oak.

Notes From The Winemaker: A dessert wine made in classic “new world” style where the fruit is the star. Light golden in colour this seductive wine reveals a complex nose of pineapple, almond and spiced apple over a flavour profile of butterscotch and honeysuckle. A bright zesty acidity imparts excellent structure and length leading to an elegant mineral finish.
