2010 Mt Benson Limestone Coast Wangolina Station Section 67 Semillon


If you want a Semillon that you can drink with pleasure, and yet never fear slipping out of adulthood back to childlikeness, the 2010 Mt Benson Limestone Coast Wangolina Station Section 67 Semillon is it. Mount Benson is a relatively new wine region situated between 'the coastal towns of Robe and Kingston in South Australia. This is sensuous and near-luscious Semillon. It smells of ripe pine, sweet soap and blossom. A clear, light gold in colour, in the mouth there's interest and length with corn, tang and fizz. A Semillon for adults who are uncomfortable being adults but don't want to admit it. The label combines a copper dot of W with classic, hand-writing and typewriter fonts; that sounds overwhelming, but works in black on white, creating interest, just the way the wine does.
