This is really a sad story with an uplifting ending: I have to inform all you lovers of Rosewood Semillon that you’ll have to get your Sem-fix elsewhere. Due to the damage brought about by winter-2013 the vines did not survive … and so it’s with a heavy heart that I must report this’ll be the last Semillon Rosewood is likely to make; but as Sean Connery learned portraying James Bond on film “Never Say Never Again”. But if I had to say my goodbyes with one vintage of this wine, this would be the one. Nose of lanolin, apple sauce, exotic fruits (like pineapple and mango) leading to flavours of green apple, pear, apricot and pretty hints of mineral to back it all up along with mango and great acidity on the finish. So long Sem, we were just getting to know you. Price: $18.00 – Rating: ****+
