"Remarkable and unmissable, the "Monument" lives up to its name!"

"Opening with a waxy, expressive nose, Monument Sémillon 2022 offers aromas of spicy peach and wax melon essences before displaying a delicious floral note. Medium-bodied but impressively weighty, the palate is complex, revealing surprising breadth and depth before a rocky, mineral finish. Give it another year and drink it over the next decade. Only 2,600 bottles were produced after resting in old oak barrels. 2024-2034" (Robert Parker 2023)

South Africa
sémillon
deep

The La Colline vineyard bears witness to an extraordinary viticultural heritage: on this parcel are planted vines of Sémillon gris, which has disappeared from the rest of the planet. This cuvée defends the South African identity in all its splendor: great depth, density and texture typical of old Sémillon vines.
