“The name comes from a line in an old Western movie, Tombstone. The phrase signifies acceptance of a challenge, saying I’m the one you’re looking for, I’m game, I’m it. It’s basically a conversation between Sémillon and myself for our maiden vintage, saying ‘let’s go for it’.” – Jolette Steyn

The grapes for this wine were sourced from a North East facing 18 year-old vineyard block on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains. The predominant soil type is decomposed granite.

Pairing suggestions
Sémillon pairs incredibly with spicy (not too hot) foods due to its moderate body and fresh acidity. Try this wine with sushi, Asian or Indian spices, pork or poultry.
