L'Ecole No 41 Sémillon 2023

I was thoroughly delighted by the wine's refreshing quality, which made it impossible to put down. The blend features a notable 15% Blanc component, and I must say that this wine is a rare treat. Its notes of Stonefruit, peach, and tropical fruit, accompanied by pineapple, are expertly seamless with a touch of honey and steady acidity. This varietal is not commonly found in domestic production, and I appreciate the exclusivity. Cheers!

This dish is a perfect combination of nuances and textures, with the rich, savory layers of marabella baked chicken and quinoa complemented by the freshness of frozen peas.

The glass presentation is somewhat unappealing, with a noticeable sheen. The color is a pale, washed-out hue. The nose is defined by by a sweet and floral bouquet, with a gentle intensity. The aroma is akin to of citrus fruits, markedly orange and lemon, with a subtle note of spice. On the palate, the wine is deep and full-bodied, with a controlled level of acidity. The notes are complex and multifaceted, featuring accents of citrus, stone fruit, and a touch of sweetness. This wine would pair well with a Thai-inspired stir-fry, in particular one featuring grilled meats and a variety of vegetables.
