		Outside of France the Semillon has never made large inroads in new plantings, for the most part it's been planted only in small parcels for blending purposes.

		The Moss Wood 2005 Semillon is a medium-straw colour, fresh, lively, even vibrant, with aromas of grapefruit citrus, lemon sherbet, figs and some bready notes, clean and crisp on the palate with ripe lemon, grapefruit and melon flavours and a refreshing, dry finish.
		Semillon in Margaret River can be prolific and, even with all the care that is taken at Moss Wood with crop estimates and bunch thinning, it can still crop far more heavily than expected.
		The Moss Wood team were determined that this wouldnât be repeated in 2005 and so, although the cropping was not heavy, thanks to the consistency of the weather in the build up to vintage, the vines were crop thinned.
