So we\u2019re not wrong when we say one of the most extraordinary wines we\u2019ve had is the <strong>Rickety Bridge The Pilgrimage 2017 Old Vine Semillon<\/strong>, which was given a coveted 5-Star rating as well as Joint Best Semillon Award in the 2020 Platter\u2019s South African Wine Guide. This limited edition wine \u2013 only 1600 bottles were produced \u2013 has a full, rich extraordinarily satiny palate of honey, nougat and citrus, which is perfectly balanced with caramel sweetness and a beautiful lingering creamy finish. Rich and intense yet fresh, it finishes regally and perfectly dry. Ready to drink now, this wine has great aging potential for up to at least 10 years from harvest. It\u2019s a wine made to last and improve with age. An elegant Semillon, it\u2019s extremely versatile and can be paired with a variety of dishes \u2013 delicious with breyani, chicken curry, roast pork, seafood, shellfish, roast chicken and paella. At R450 a bottle, it\u2019s obviously for very special occasions.
