A wine with great depth and potential that will gain even more complexity with time. Food matches - Fresh seafood, French Camembert, Stiffed figs with goats cheese and prosciutto. Peak drinking - Drinking well upon release but has the potential to evolve and impress towards 2030. Viticulture - Fruit sourced to make this Semillon was grown with absolute attention to detail. Identification of soil boundaries within blocks is the first step in selecting potentially superior fruit. Close monitoring and analysis of these vines leads to shoot or bunch thinning by hand if required to obtain the perfect balance for good exposure and healthy ripening. A philosophy of minimal inputs in this premium block allows the unique combination of variety, soil type and microclimate to shine through and produce a parcel of fruit with true character. The 2020 vintage was a warm year in Margaret River allowing plenty of time during January and February to ripen the fruit to our specification. Winemaking - The fruit was harvested early in the morning with 25% being crushed into 1 tonne fermenters for natural fermentation on skins for two weeks. The remainder was drained and pressed with the cloudy juice being sent to new and old barrels for natural fermentation. All barrels were lees stirred over 11 months before clarifying and blending of the best barrels. Storage and Bottling - The 2020 Jack out the Box Semillon was bottled in February 2021 to super premium reverse claret glass with a screwcap closure. This wine is drinking exceptionally well now and with prudent storage should continue to show well towards 2030.
