Collection: Semillon
The Semillon grape is a white wine grape variety that is primarily grown in the Bordeaux area of France. It is also common in Australia, where it is often used to make sweet dessert wines. The Semillon grape is one of the oldest wine grape varieties in Bordeaux, and it has been cultivated in the area for more than 1,000 years.
The Semillon grape has a mild taste, with notes of grass, lemon and grapefruit. When young, it has a fresh and juicy taste, but after some aging it becomes more voluminous and full-bodied. Most Semillon wines have a soft and creamy texture, and their sweet taste is often balanced by a bit of acidity.
The Semillon grape is a relatively hardy grape, and it has a good resistance to diseases and pests. It also tolerates heat and drought, making it suitable for growing in hot climates. Due to its robustness, the Semillon grape has been one of the most popular wine grape varieties in Australia, where it has been used to make many different types of wine, from young, fresh white wines to sweet dessert wines.
