Semillon

Semillon is a white wine grape variety that is valued for its versatility and ability to produce a range of wines. When fresh and young, it offers flavors of citrus, green apple, and herbal notes, often with a crisp acidity. When it matures or is affected by noble rot (a special mold), it can develop rich, honeyed, and complex flavors, making it ideal for sweet wines. Semillon is commonly grown in regions like Bordeaux in France and parts of Australia. Its wines can be enjoyed on their own or paired with dishes like seafood, poultry, and cheeses.
