Moss Wood Semillon 2020

The Moss Wood Semillon has a medium to deep straw colour, with green tints and the wine is in bright condition. An absolutely classic Semillon combination of green apples and figs but with the added complexity of stewed pears and cinnamon.  As always, there’s a touch of earthiness suggesting barrel aging but this is definitely not the case. In the mouth there is a rich mouthfeel, not always a feature in young Semillons.  The fig and pear fruit flavours combine with full body to smooth out the acidity and tannins, so necessary for cellaring but this year sitting nicely in the background.
