Wally White Semillon

The Islander Estate Vineyards Wally White Semillon fruit is harvested in two stages: first an early pick for higher acidity then a second, later harvest for more texture in the final wine.

Both parcels are picked and sorted by hand, then whole bunch pressed in a basket press. After a short settling period, the turbid juice is fermented in French oak barrels with a selected yeast.

The wine matures in casks for two years. For the first four months the lees are stirred weekly to create a fuller texture.

Brilliant yellow, The Islander Estate Vineyards Wally White Semillon has rich, creamy barrel ferment notes bound by cleansing natural acidity. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
