Botrytis Semillion 2011 (12x 375mL) SA

Description:

A beautiful golden colour which will intensify with bottle age. In 2011 there was a high level of botrytis infection

in three of our Semillon vineyards and this is reflected in the bouquet which is chock full of honey and lime

marmalade characters. The palate is deliciously luscious and is counterbalanced by the natural acidity, making this a dessert wine of the highest pedigree. These wines can be matured for quite a few years during which time they become richer in colour and more complex.

Winery Profile

The family’s success story from humble beginnings has beentold many times over and is still one of the most remarkable in Australianwinemaking history. It begins with Filippo and Maria Casella setting sail fromItaly to Australia to find a better way of life and eventually settling inYenda, New South Wales. After many years of hard work and struggle, it was in2001 that things really changed for the family. Driven by John’s vision tocreate an approachable wine that consumers wanted to drink and could easilyunderstand, [yellow tail] wines were fruit forward, delicious and soft on thepalate with no jargon. The rapid success in the US market made [yellow tail] aglobal phenomenon, and the wines are still enjoyed by millions of people aroundthe world every day.

John’s passion for Australian winemaking and love of theland his family now call home, has led to the expansion of the company toinclude some of the country’s most iconic wineries. Honouring decades of familywinemaking tradition, John’s desire is to showcase the regional excellence ofAustralia’s most famed regions and widely respected winemakers.
