Torpedo Rocks Semillon 2022
100% - Semillon
Yield – 6 tonne/hectare
Soils – Rich alluvial flats
Winemaking – Handpicked, basket pressed with the secondary malolactic ferment in 35% new French Oak barriques for ten months. A10% parcel of Semillon kept on gas and blended back in tank with the barrel aged wine prior to bottling. Thus ensuring the integration of the fresh fruit flavours with the barrel aged Semillon.
Tasting Notes - Barrel aged for 10 months in 35% new oak, this wine has layers of white peach, pear, nectarines and citrus fruits that are supported by the French Oak. The mouth feel is very full with the buttery/creamy notes but finishes with a very soft acid - a brilliant food wine. Semillon ages extremely well and will cellar into a deep golden, creamy, lemon, honey wine whom has the same social position as the Margaret River Chardonnays.
