Description

2019 Cirillo Estate Wines 1850 Ancestor Vine Semillon 750mlThe Cirillo 1850 Semillon originates from a historic vineyard in Light Pass, Barossa Valley, known as the world's oldest Semillon (Madeira) vineyard outside Madeira itself. Among the few remaining in Australia, it is classified as a Semillon due to its unique origin, not its regional heritage.
