Description
FINE ART COLLECTION 2023 ‘ODE TO ARGES’ SEMILLON
Lyrical brightness that strides over the palate followed by sumptuous baked pears and honey suckle flowers on the core with lanolin textured length. Well balanced as a canvas for fine dining pairing.
Based on Greek Mythology, three cyclops or one- eyed giants named Brontes (thunder), Steropes (lightening) and Arges (brightness) once imprisoned by their father Kronos, who was afraid of their power and then freed by Hades, Zeus and Poseidon to aide them in bringing down Kronos as the Cyclops had great forgery skills. Tridents for Zeus and Poseidon and a magical helmet for Hades were crafted by them.
Semillon is very much a wine that transcends the realm of other white wines . It is not like Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc but somewhere in between, like the Cyclop’s eye in the middle of their forehead. Arges is bright just like the wine, but its characteristics are voluminous and mythological in some respects.
Food Pairing: Semillon is the perfect canvas for fine dining pairing menus. The wine supports a wide variety of high- end fare as there are subtle nuances of honey- comb, citrus flowers and
lanolin texture supported by a bright, seamless line of acidity. Serve slightly chilled.
Ageing potential: The wine is approachable in its youth with fresh, vibrant tension on the entry and opulent core of lanolin texture and may age well for up to 10 years due to its well – integrated acidity.
Alcohol: 13.5% ABV
