Sourced entirely from the family's own Rattlesnake Hills estate and given six months of sur lie ageing in neutral French oak, it's a textured, food-friendly white built for drinkers who want something a little different from the usual Chardonnay run — and a genuinely memorable gift for the Sémillon curious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points — Paul Gregutt (2024)\u003cbr\u003e90 Points — Wine Enthusiast (2024)\u003cbr\u003e90 Points — Owen Bargreen (2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e90 Points — Vinous (2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Soft and mineral-laden on the tongue.

Six months on the lees in neutral French oak puncheons rounds out the texture without masking the wine's bright, orchard-fresh core — the result is a Sémillon with real weight and length, best enjoyed with shellfish, roast chicken, or a good semi-soft cheese.

The juice spends six months resting on its lees in neutral French oak puncheons — a technique that builds texture and savory depth without adding overt oak flavor. 13.1% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDineen Vineyards was founded in 2001 when Pat and Lanie Dineen converted a 12-acre apple orchard in Washington's Rattlesnake Hills into what has grown into a nearly 100-acre estate. Pat, a Wisconsin dairy farmer's son with Irish roots and a 40-year banking career behind him, and Lanie built the vineyard around a simple family philosophy: \"Agriculture connects us to the earth, wine connects us to one another.\" For years, Dineen was known as the grower the pros bought from — its fruit went into some of Washington's most celebrated wines long before the family bottled a drop under its own label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, second-generation vintner Marissa Dineen leads the estate alongside winemaker Brian Mackey, formerly head red winemaker at Chateau Ste. Michelle. The vineyard's individual blocks are named for the women of the family — Catherine's, Lanie's, Marissa's, Bridget's, Charlotte's, Quinn's, and Rose's — and the estate farms under dual Lodi Rules and Sustainable WA certification, a boutique, family-run operation producing Bordeaux- and Rhône-inspired wines in small, deliberate lots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dineen Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57881315901827,"sku":"DNN20124","price":26.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/DineenVineyardsSemillon.png?v=1777038974","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/dineen-semillon-2024","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
