Semillon

This wine will pair beautifully with hot Asian cuisines or spicy curries.

Grapes are hand-harvested from 23-year-old vines from the Northern slope of the Kanonberg mountain.

As soon as fermentation starts, the wine is moved to 40% new and 30% second fill French oak barrel and 30% third fill French Oak Barrels, where it is left to ferment for 10 months before bottling.

The bunches are pressed whole and then left overnight with the enzyme. After removing from the lees, the juices are inoculated with selected yeast strains to begin fermentation in concrete tanks.

Bloemendal Wine Estate is a historic gem, situated in the fertile Durbanville Valley, just 30 minutes from Cape Town. The farm was established in 1702 and is one of the largest wine farms in the region, reaching up along the Kanonberg Mountains. A producer of world class award-winning wines, an idyllic wedding and function venue and home to the popular family restaurant, Bon Amis, there are so many reasons to visit Bloemendal Estate.
