Named after Paulina de Villiers , the woman that started what is today Rickety Bridge this Semillon is an extraordinary example of an elegant food wine. Lime and apple aromas layered with nuances of honeyed beeswax. The rich elegant palate of honey and citrus is perfectly balanced with well-integrated oak notes, minerality and a delightful lingering creamy finish. Excellent Companion for salads, quiches & light seafood starters.
How the wine is made:Fermentation took place in the small French oak barrels, 15% new and 85% older barrels using a naturally occurring yeast. The must was fermented between 14 - 17 ̊C and the lees was stirred up daily for two months and then once every two weeks for the next 3 months thereafter. The wine was then left to age for a total of 11 months in barrel.
