The 2018 Ancestor Vine Semillon was tank fermented and matured on its lees. It is resplendent with bison grass, almond leaf, preserved lemon and cracked barley and feels slightly broad (via the lees) through the finish. At 10.5% alcohol, this is light and textural, but thanks to the old vines, it has poise and presence too. It was bottled after two years' maturation and has eons left to go.
