Semillon

Semillon is a white grape varietal that hails from Bordeaux, France. Here it is best known for being blended with Sauvignon Blanc, often being the main component in the blend, where it makes crisp white wines as well as the luscious sweet wines of Sauternes. It is in the Hunter Valley of Australia where is has found a home as an age-worthy dry white wine. You can expect waxy, lemon and stonefruit flavours off of Semillon wines, sweet or dry.
