Gabrielskloof Magdalena Semillon Blend 2023
Bot River, South Africa

Old vine Semillon (Paardebosch, Swartland – 42%, Goederust, Franschhoek – 30%), Gabriëlskloof Semillon (planted 2006) 28%

All fruit was whole bunch pressed and 100% wild fermented in 400- and 500L

French barrels. The wine spent ten months on its lees before blending and bottling.

Bruised apples, thatch and chamomile are prominent on a richly exotic nose, supported by ginger and thai basil. Flavours of yellow pear, lemon drop and greengage brighten the palate while quince and dark honey combine for a textured and slightly viscous finish. Decadent, but delicately so.

Winery Profile

Gabriëlskloof is the realisation of a dream for South African Bernhard Heyns, who searched for several years to find the unique piece of land that would ‘root him to the spot’. Local farmer Barry Anderson had heard about Bernhard’s mission and arranged to meet him on a windy summer’s day in 2001 at a farm called “Avontuur” on the outskirts of Botrivier. Both immediately recognised the potential of this piece of land (at the time covered with wheat and canola, and home to a few wandering sheep) and soon after, Bernhard bought what is today Gabriëlskloof.
