WINE DESCRIPTION
Chalk Hill Estate Vineyard Selection Botrytised Sémillon is a luscious dessert wine that showcases the exceptional winemaking skills of Chalk Hill Estate. This wine is made from Sémillon grapes that are carefully selected from the estate's vineyards in Sonoma County, California. The vineyards are known for their unique terroir, which includes a mix of volcanic soils and cool coastal breezes. The grapes are left to hang on the vine until they are affected by botrytis, a fungus that concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes. The resulting wine is rich and complex, with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus. This wine is a perfect pairing for desserts or can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet treat.
