Margaret River, Western Australia. 70% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc
The Semillon portion provides notable structure and texture to the blend, and the barrique fermented Semillon/ Sauvignon Blanc portion adds length, texture and structure to the wine. The brightness and lightness of this wine make it a paragon of the style.
Colour
Pale straw with green hues.
Nose
Trademark aromas of cape gooseberry, nectarines, passionfruit pith and lime are there infused with the subtle creaminess from the barrel fermentation portion of the blend.
Palate
The palate is dry, yet fruity and has a zesty natural acidity that stands it in good stead as a food wine. The mouth feel and the texture of the wine linger due to the subtle oak presence and intensity of the fruit flavours. The fruit adds sweetness to its ripeness within the confines of an acidic style. The barrel fermentation in French oak adds texture and mouth feel to the wine. Notes of lime, grapefruit, cape gooseberry and chalky minerality continue on to the palate.
Cellaring
This well balanced wine with lingering fresh flavours and great complexity will keep you drinking till the last drop is gone. Cellar for up to 5 years if you can resist drinking it in the first year.
