Journey of Semillon
The Journey of Semillon My love for Semillon started way back in 2006 at Mountain Ridge Wines in Wolseley. It was my first vintage as assistant winemaker under the guidance of Francois Agenbag that we made Semillon in different styles. The Bizoe journey started in 2008 and the first...
Circle of Wine
I think it’s a repeat of all my previous blogs in August, what I am about to say, “What a privilege to work with vineyards and to shape their future by cutting old shoots away to make space for new life.” Pruning season is in full steam now. Although...
