Damascene Vineyards Sémillon Franschhoek 2024 750ml

A wine of quiet confidence, the 2024 Semillon opens with lemon zest, apple blossom, and a dusting of white chalk, unfolding to a subtle beeswax richness. There's a cool, stony undertone, giving the nose its crystalline edge. On the palate, the wine is tight and focused, carrying flavours of Meyer lemon pith, nectarine, melon rind, and a hint of unripe tangerine. A waxy texture runs through the core, providing gentle weight without heaviness. Over time, white chalk dust and lime notes appear, while the fruit remains finely drawn rather than exuberant. A textured, restrained wine, with surprising depth.
