Regna Loca Semillon

Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, pork belly and creamy pasta dishes. The wine's texture and complexity also complement shellfish, soft-ripened cheeses and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in Franschhoek, these bush vines were planted in 1905 and continue to produce fruit of remarkable depth and character. The vineyard is a mix of green, golden and lightly sun-kissed berries, each contributing layers of flavour. A small proportion is naturally mutated Sémillon Gris, lending subtle spice, gentle tannin and red fruit notes. Recently introduced irrigation has helped to extend the life of this historic block and secure its quality for future vintages.

The grapes, including the Sémillon Gris component, were 100% whole-bunch pressed before natural settling. Fermentation took place in a combination of amphora and barrels, followed by 10 months maturation.

Rickety Bridge Winery is an historic Franschhoek wine estate. Situated in the renowned Franschhoek valley the food and wine capital of South Africa the Rickety Bridge winery and Country Manor House nestle against the hillside overlooking vineyards and the majestic Wemmershoek Mountains. The land dates back to 1694 when the farms were granted to the first French Huguenots who settled in the area.
