Sadie Family Kokerboom Semillon 2022

"The Kokerboom vineyard consists of around 80% white Green Grape and 20% red Green Grape.We pick them together and press them simultaneously.The wine is one of the richest wines we produce with pure volume and massive texture.The Semillon ripens very well in this area due to the high solar radiation and the grapes enter the cellar between 13.5 – 14% alcohol.

In many respects, this 2022 Kokerboom displays the typical waxy, lanolin, and almost wet wool characters often associated with Semillon.The most astounding aspect is that this vineyard had only 180mm of rain this year, and this drought and hydric stress forced us to pick the vineyard much earlier than ever before.Yet very few green flavours are present, and most aromatics are the classic Semillon flavours, with maybe a granadilla passionfruit aromatics being a new dimension.The tannins, acidity, overall texture and volume in the wine are incredible, and we are in awe of the power of this terroir.

The compact tannins and acidity take this wine to infinity and beyond... We produced very little, so please share with friends." -Winery notes
