Mullineux “The Gris” Semillon 2014
This very rare wine is made from 100% Semillon Gris from a 56 year old heritage, dryfarmed vineyard grown on the granite soils of the Paardeberg in the Swartland. The grapes were picked by hand, early in the morning, while the air was still cool. In the winery, the Semillon Gris was whole-bunch pressed gently. The juice was settled overnight and then racked to two neutral barrels where it fermented naturally, and eventually also completed malolactic fermentation. After one year on the lees (but not stirred) the wine was racked clean and bottled. Only 500 bottles were made.
