Winery Review: "Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a
moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish."
My Review: This blend was a heavier wine than the previous Sauvignon Blanc that I tried. On the nose there was an interesting collection of caramel and cayenne pepper. There was these same caramel and pepper flavors on the palate, with additional components of sweet red apples, cassava, and papaya. There was definitely a mix between cooking spices and exotic fruit going on. The texture was chewy, with a long finish and shy tannins. I would like to pair this with some biscuits and apple butter to complement the buttery flavors that I was also getting from this wine.
