Description
Sourced from a single vineyard at Light Pass, the 2019 Cirillo 1850 Ancestor Vine Semillon is harvested from some of the world's oldest Semillon vines, planted before 1850. Handpicked early in the season to retain high acidity, the fruit is basket pressed and tank fermented without oak, showcasing the vineyard’s unique character.
In the glass, this Semillon shines with a crystalline pale yellow hue and an iridescent green rim. The nose offers bright lemongrass, orange blossom, and a distinctive mineral character, while the palate is filled with sinewy structure and a focused acid line, delivering a textural experience with a perfect balance of sweet and sour.
This exciting Semillon, ideal for immediate enjoyment or cellaring, epitomizes Marco Cirillo’s dedication to quality and tradition, offering a piece of Barossa's history in every bottle.
