Thelema Semillon Late Harvest (375ml) 2013
A light golden dessert wine with very typical Semillon characters of honey blossom, citrus and creme brulee on the nose. The wine is lush and viscous, with flavours of apricots, honey and sweet citrus on the palate.
Maturation
With correct cellaring this late harvest will age exceptionally well.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with dessert or some fine handcrafted cheeses.
