Description
The Hans Herzog Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019 is a superbly crafted white that channels the elegance of a Bordeaux-style blend. With Sauvignon Blanc providing bright aromatics and lively acidity, and Semillon contributing to its rich body and smooth texture, this wine delivers both complexity and refinement. On the nose, it bursts with aromas of ripe peaches, candied peel, and exotic fruits, underpinned by a signature minerality that reflects the gravelly soils from which it originates.
The oak influence, derived from 20% new French oak puncheons, is seamlessly integrated, adding a creamy texture to the wine’s finish. With 20 months of maturation on lees, the wine showcases exceptional depth and a silken mouthfeel. Its vibrant acidity and subtle phenolics give it balance, while the dry finish lingers long on the palate, inviting another sip. This wine offers both power and elegance, with the ability to age gracefully while remaining refreshing and invigorating.
