Shannon Triangle Block Sémillon 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R250
‘Spontaneously fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak, 30% new. Expressive aromatics of lime, white peach, fennel, thatch and some earthiness. The palate is dense and layered, big acidity lending drive, the finish deeply savoury. Forceful in the best sense, a wine of character.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
‘James Downes picks his Semillon late but it still has a chiselled pH of 3.16. Leesy, complex and toasty, with 30% new wood, orange peel and citrus flavours, good weight, some herbal undertones and a taut, slightly salty finish. 2022-26’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 93/100

| Producer information | The name Shannon pays homage to the owner’s ancestors who come from Irish descent. Located in the Elgin Valley within the Kogelberg Biosphere, Shannon Vineyards’ unique terroir speaks for itself. With the Peninsula Dam creating the eastern boundary of the farm, the vineyards experience a cooling blanket of mist which is such a great geographical influencer on the farm’s climate, that Shannon has included the river mist in their logo. As such, the winemaking follows a minimal intervention approach to allow the different terroirs to be expressed in the wines. |
