2023 Monte Rosso Vineyard Sémillon
Sourced entirely from our Monte Rosso Vineyard in Moon Mountain, the fruit for our Sémillon was hand-harvested then hand-sorted at our winery. The wine underwent 10-month élevage in 39% concrete egg, 37% new Austrian oak, and 24% used oak. It offers quince, white nectarine, honeysuckle, hints of guava, sea breeze, and struck flint aromas with notes of lime, Asian pear, and hints of juniper berry.

"Our Sémillon offers pretty aromatics with a serious tone—more texture and weight on the palate, which is tamed by freshness and acidity, making it the perfect fall wine. Drink some, age some. Tasting 20-year-old Sémillons makes for a fantastic dinner party.”
