Fidelitas Semillon is yellow-gold in color with a pleasant nose of pear, lemon and a slight hint of apple. Medium-full in body with mild acidity and soft tannins, it offers rich flavors of pear, apple, peach, lemon, almond, and vanilla, with a delicate balance of fruit and oak. This is an elegant food wine with depth and complexity, nicely balanced across all components. Ready to enjoy now and over the next 6-7 years, it has a rich and long-lasting finish.
