Details and technical informations about Winery Optimiste's Limited Release Sémillon.
Discover the grape variety: Oeillade blanche
Simple, dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet southern rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern vineyard. Rare French white grape, formerly grown in Provence and the south-east.

The wine region of Mudgee
Historic Australian high-altitude region (450-1,000 m) west of Sydney: signature Shiraz as king red - fleshy and spicy with notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry, chocolate, pepper and a eucalyptus touch, round tannins and generous alcohol. Structured Cabernet (blackcurrant, cedar) in renowned support. Ample Chardonnay and Sémillon in whites. Italian grapes (Sangiovese, Barbera) on the rise.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
