Château Suduiraut

Harvesting ran from late September to early November in five vineyard passes. The blend combines ninety percent Semillon with ten percent Sauvignon Blanc. Maturation lasts twenty months, split evenly between new barrels and barrels used for one previous wine. The finished wine has fourteen percent alcohol, 145 grams per litre of residual sugar and 3.6 grams per litre of total acidity.

Deep golden yellow with amber reflections, the profile carries candied fruit, acacia honey and roasted apricot. Air reveals plum, saffron, almond and green Chartreuse. The palate is opulent, with wood, while the finish is creamy. Cocoa bean, ginger and vanilla bring energy, and the wine is powerful without heaviness. The blend is ninety percent Semillon and ten percent Sauvignon Blanc.
