About this Item
2009 CWG Elim Semillon
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Auction year: 2009
'Distinctive, cool-climate minerality with nettles, green fig and dusty dry fynbos expressive of Elim provenance. The small proportion fermented in French oak has added complexity and length with smoky bacon aromas. Firm acidity for mouth watering freshness. Ideally suited to food and fresh enough for solo enjoyment.'

Critics Ratings
'Tight, with a bracing edge to the white asparagus, chive and mineral notes, backed by a hint of tangerine on the finish. A bit lean for a Sémillon, with the vegetal note lingering stubbornly. More like a Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 125 cases made.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 84/100 (Dec 2009).
