Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon remind me of straw & freshly cut grass. The Vintage: A great vintage with classic varietal definition in Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc wines. Textured & soft with gentle acidity with ripe & intense flavours. The Winemaking: Fruit was harvested at night with crushing & de-stemming. Some skin contact was employed to extract flavour & texture from the fruit. The Wine: Overt aromas of minerality, fresh herbs & citrus jump from the glass. The palate shows lemon sherbert, juniper & fresh peas. The impression is one of complexity & power, yet the wine is immediately approachable & drinkable. The natural crunchy acidity is balanced by a soft textural mouth-feel. This wine shows great fruit intensity, persistence & length of flavour. Pretty serious stuff for the wine buff & a great drink for those just looking for a glass of this classic Margaret River blend. Drink With: Marinated BBQ prawns with herb mayonnaise & a squeeze of lemon.
