Five Rows 2020 Price List
White- Semillon
A fresh acidic citrus style wine that goes well with sushi and other strong flavoured fish dishes. This is not Sauvignon Blanc that you can swig with abandon it’s more of an aperitif like a dry Spanish sherry.
2014 (450 bottles produced) This wine has a higher acidity than the 2015 with sharp grapefruit flavours which improves it ageing potential. This is 100% un oaked Semillon and will mature gracefully like Australian Semillon. Designed to lay down for 10-15y. Recommend to drink chilled.
$20 per bottle ($100 case of six $16.66 bottle)
2015 250 bottles produced Reflecting the hotter summer it has lower acidity and deeper straw colour than 2014 so it’s ready to drink sooner but may not continue to mature > 5 years like the 2014 vintage. It can be enjoyed now and is unoaked. Recommend to drink slightly chilled.
