There are not too many single-varietal Sémies in Ontario, and this one requires heat and a long hang time. To ensure ripeness, in 2009, Stratus picked their grapes on December 3rd! It may not be as blousy as some Aussie versions, but it is definitely emblematic with all of its apricot, wax, lanolin, honey and spice qualities. The acidity and very good length make for an appealing bottle of wine.
