Bizoe Robertsvleipad Semillon 2018

Bizoe Robertsvleipad Semillon 2018

From R250.00

The Robertsvleipad Semillon hails from the sandy soils of Franschhoek, a defining origin of stellar Semillon. There is a delicacy about this wine that will go unnoticed if you don’t take your time to discover it. The wine is still reticent for its age, weaved with soft aromas of lime blossom, lemon, grapefruit, fynbos, and dhania. As it evolves, gentle notes of Granny Smith, lime, thyme, flint, and ginger takes shape both on the nose and follow through on the palate.
