Sémillon

In Bordeaux, Sémillon is Sauvignon Blanc’s blending partner for both dry and sweet wines. However, elsewhere it takes centre stage – particularly in Australia’s Hunter Valley where it can produce some magical whites which can age for decades.

Yorkville Cellars is located in Mendocino County, just 100 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The vineyards are on average 1000 feet above sea level, surrounded by other vineyards, sheep ranches and apple and peach orchards. At the bottom of the vineyard is a redwood forest which yields to the spectacular Mendocino coastline. The winery is quite small and produces fewer than 1000 cases of each varietal. No pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used in the production of Yorkville Cellars wines; the winery has been certified organic since 1986.
