{"product_id":"boekenhoutskloof-semillon-afrique-du-sud","title":"Boekenhoutskloof - Semillon - 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Franschhoek Valley, in the heart of the Western Cape, the vineyard for this cuvée is rooted in ancient soils combining alluvial sand, decomposed granite, and shale. The Sémillon parcels mainly come from old vines planted at moderate altitudes, benefiting from cool breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. This climate, tempered by maritime influence, allows for slow and steady grape maturation, preserving their natural acidity. The varietal blend is complemented by selections from neighboring Swartland terroirs, adding complexity and depth to the wine's profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sémillon grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, then gently whole-bunch pressed. The must is gravity-fed into French oak barrels, mostly used, where slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place. The wine then ages on fine lees, with controlled bâtonnage, for extended maturation in barrels, allowing it to gain texture and complexity while preserving the freshness and aromatic purity characteristic of the Franschhoek terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy pear\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elinden\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as spicy nuances of \u003cstrong\u003eginger\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewhite pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e.
