Penfolds Semillon 1998

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThe grapes come from Adelaide (1300') about an hour south of Adelaide. Cool climate is the watchword in what is an herbaceous style sémillon with plenty of mineral, gooseberry and asparagus scents. Its citrus, green apple/lemon flavours make it almost sauvignon-like in the mouth. Fresh, clean and capable of ageing another four to five years.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
