Grapes used for the production of Dornier Semillon are sourced from a single site on Dornier. The vines are 25 years old and planted on red and yellow decomposed granite soils. Yields average at 5 tons per hectare.
The nose shows upfront aromas of lemon rind, fresh hay, caramelised apple and honey. The palate is rich in flavours of quince, lemon meringue and brioche, with a luscious full texture backed by a well-balanced acidity and lingering aftertaste.
Production of Dornier Semillon is limited to 2000 bottles each year and is available to purchase at The Wine Lounge at Dornier.
