Semillon Wines
Semillon is a white grape variety primarily grown in Bordeaux, France, as well as in Australia. It produces medium to full-bodied wines with flavors of citrus, honey, and a touch of nuttiness, often with a rich, oily texture. The ABV for Semillon wines typically ranges from 11.5-14%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce complex, age-worthy wines that reflect their terroir.
The varied soils and climates of Bordeaux and other regions provide ideal conditions for Semillon, allowing the grape to develop its characteristic richness and aromatics. Semillon is often used in blends with Sauvignon Blanc to add body and complexity, particularly in Bordeaux white wines. The grape's potential for producing high-quality, long-lived wines has ensured its status as a staple of Bordeaux viticulture and a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
