Typical aromas include lemon, lime zest, yellow apple and white flowers, with developed notes of honey and wax and a hint of lanolin. Aged in stainless steel, Semillon shows a bright, citrus freshness. Fermentation and ageing in barrels bring added creaminess, spice and length.

The wine was made entirely from whole bunches, fermented in amphorae and barrels, then aged for ten months—a process that brings together complexity and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rickety Bridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54797382615308,"sku":"RB-2014-25","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0127\/0090\/9632\/files\/regna-loca-semillon-2025-rickety-bridge-the-winestore-de-2222830.jpg?v=1790856074"},{"product_id":"the-tin-mine-white-2025","title":"The Tin Mine White 2025","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid spacing-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Image Slider Column --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item medium-up--one-half\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0127\/0090\/9632\/files\/Tasting_Notes_Product_Description_Moritz_Smelling_Wine.jpg?v=1629106985\" alt=\"Tasting Note Moritz Smelling Wine\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0127\/0090\/9632\/files\/Tasting_Notes_Product_Description_Moritz_Smelling_Wine.jpg?v=1629106985\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Custom Text Column --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item medium-up--one-half\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom__item custom__item--1547756809302 one-whole\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom__item-inner custom__item-inner--html\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: center; font-weight: 600; padding-top: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: center; font-weight: 600; padding-top: 30px;\"\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e The Tin Mine White\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zevenwacht.co.za\/\" title=\"Winery Zevenwacht\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWinery Zevenwacht\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ewas made predominantly from \u003cstrong\u003eChenin Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes.
