This grape variety can produce glorious results in Argentina, Australia and South Africa
In this space a couple of weeks ago, I extolled the virtues of the many great wines being made in Argentina from grape varieties other than its most famous vinous export, malbec. One variety I didn’t mention last time out is the white sémillon, which had been very widely used in Argentina until the 1970s, when growers started ripping it out in favour of chardonnay.
The wines made from sémillon in its ancestral homeland, Bordeaux, are, like almost everything made in this corner of southwest France, blends with other varieties – sauvignon blanc and sometimes a dollop of muscadelle.
