Shannon Capall Ban Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc 2017
RATINGS
Vivino: 4.2 | Tim Atkin: 92 points | Platter's: 4.5 stars
TASTING NOTES
70% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc
The Semillon leads with distinctive musky nose combining ginger, quinine, lime zest and cardamom in a minerally and flinty style. On the palate, this wine has zippy, lively acidity, a hint of oak, notes of lemongrass and a distinct lemony and creamy mouthfeel.
Vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of a Bordeaux-style white blend, the Capall Ban is always released a few years after vintage. It should drink beautifully after about 3 years of bottle maturation, through to 2023.
