🌟 A rare and graceful Semillon—textured, luminous, and deeply expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with green highlights—bright and refined.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and complex. Notes of lemon curd, white peach, and honeycomb are interwoven with chamomile, toasted almond, and a hint of wet stone. Elegant and layered.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky and structured. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit flavours are framed by vibrant acidity and a gentle creaminess from oak ageing. The finish is long, mineral, and quietly powerful.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Excellent with roast chicken, grilled white fish, buttery shellfish, or vegetable risotto. Also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and creamy sauces.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now but will evolve gracefully over 5–10 years, gaining nutty complexity and deeper savoury notes.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Humberto Canale’s Old Vine Semillon is one of Argentina’s hidden gems—historic vines, cool-climate purity, and a winemaking style that brings grace and gravitas to every glass.
