Sémillon

by Madison

A young child sommelier carefully holding a small bunch of Semillon grapes, studying them with interest.

William: Hello again, wine explorers! It’s William and Madison, back on track for another grape journey. This time, we’re diving into the world of Semillon.

Madison: That’s right, William. When we observe Semillon, it’s like looking at liquid gold. Not as light as some white wines, but not too dark either, kind of like the the yellow of a ripe banana.

William: Great description, Madison! When we smell Semillon, it’s like walking through an orchard. Think of ripe apples, pears, and even honey or wax. It’s a lot like the different scents we encounter when we’re baking cookies at Christmas.

Madison: Spot on, William. And just like how the same Lego set can be built in different ways, Semillon can vary a lot depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made. In cooler climates, it tends to be crisper, like biting into a fresh apple. But in warmer places, it can be richer and even a little sweet.

William: Semillon originally comes from the Bordeaux region of France. It’s got a storied history, kind of like the historic explorers we study in class.

Madison: Semillon is a great team player! It’s often blended with Sauvignon Blanc in both dry and sweet wines. In some areas like Australia, it also shines as a single varietal. It’s like the versatile players on a soccer team, good at both offense and defense.

William: Absolutely, Madison. And remember, just like how we learn new strategies in our video games or gain knowledge from our history books, every smell, look, and fact about wine helps us understand it better, even though we can’t taste it yet.

Madison: True, William. It’s all about exploration and discovery!

William & Madison: That’s all for our journey with Semillon. Keep your explorer hats on, and join us on KidSomm.com for more grape adventures. Let’s keep learning together!

Madison – Age 9

Hi!  My name is Madison and I started learning about wine when my mom and dad started taking courses.  Even though I can’t drink wine yet, I can still learn a ton and it’s fun to smell the different wines and see if I can guess what type of grape it is. I also like sports, cooking & dogs.

William – Age 12

Hello, my name is William. I have started taking an interest in wine when my parents started taking wine classes for a business my dad is opening.  My goal is to be able to review wines properly, just by sight and smell. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.
