Description :
This 100% Sémillon comes from a small vineyard parcel of sandy soils at 650m above sea level, one of the highest sites on the estate. The vineyard was planted between 2001 and 2006 using grafted material from Bordeaux. In keeping with Trinoro's philosophy, vine density is high, with 10,000 vines per hectare (2,500 per acre).
The first harvest took place in 2008, though the wine was released commercially only with the 2018 vintage.

The first harvest took place in 2008, though the wine was released commercially only with the 2018 vintage. The naturally high acidity of this high-altitude Sémillon brings fragrance, vibrancy, and a notable capacity for aging.
Winemaking: The grapes are hand-harvested from a small Semillon vineyard of approximately 0.5 hectares (1.25 acres) located at 630 m (2,000 ft) above sea level. Fermentation: Lasts around 10 days and takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in small oak casks. The wine then ages in concrete tanks, with selective rackings to remove fine lees.

Tasting notes :
This wine is driven by a distinct mineral streak, with flavors of grapefruit, pear and quince coming through clearly. A crisp, crunchy texture gives it extra definition and sets it apart, adding energy and grip to the finish.
