Semillon

Semillon is a golden variety of white grape that has its roots in south west France, and is certainly one of the unsung heroes of the wine-making world. It is a key component of such famous wines as Sauternes, dry whites from Graves and is famous for its unique style produced in the Hunter Valley in Eastern Australia. It lends itself well to sweet and dry wine production alike, and is commonly blended with Sauvignon Blanc, and to a lesser extent, Chardonnay.
