"Classic blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc. Sees a smidge of new oak but there’s no real sign of oak flavour. If you’re drinking this, you’re drinking pretty damn well.
Terrific intensity. Explodes from the glass. Vibrant, richly perfumed, zippy and alive. Passionfruit and gunsmoke, gravel and thistles. New-born chubby-cheek texture. Wonderful length. Needless to say, it has value all sewn up. Rated : 92 Points" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
Semillon’s citrus and floral notes are complemented by the tropical passionfruit aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc. These varieties are picked at reasonably low Baume, capturing fine high-note aromas, crisp primary fruit flavours and good acid structure. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc juices are then fermented under cool conditions using specially selected yeasts to ensure the varietal characters are accentuated. This wine was fermented without the use of oak for pure fruit expression.
Appearance • Pale straw with a light green tinge.
Nose • Pretty, fragrant aromas of yellow rose, lemon pith and pineapple confection with a subtle, sweet, herb note adding complexity.
Palate • Fresh, crunchy red apple flavours combine with juicy citrus to provide a refreshing yet remarkably soft and succulent palate. Savoury herb and lemon cordial characters toward the finish add fantastic length to this vibrant blend.
