Dry, crisp and refreshing
The classic Margaret River blend. Pale green in colour, with aromas of succulent Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The palate is flint-dry with an initial impact of sweet racy fruit and a fine and lengthy finish.
WINEMAKER’S NOTE: The classic Margaret River blend. Pale green in colour, with aromas of succulent Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The palate is flint-dry with an initial impact of sweet racy fruit and a fine and lengthy finish.
VINTAGE: Almost a perfect season as could be wished. An early season rain event saw mild and warm conditions throughout the vintage. Fruit quality was very good for all varieties and colours.
VINEYARDS: Our vineyards are dispersed across the Margaret River region and performed well under sometimes challenging conditions.
VINIFICATION: Harvested in early morning, crushed grapes were juice-extracted to a bright condition and cold fermented in stainless steel. Early bottled to retain varietal character.

Margaret River produces some outstanding sauvignon blanc/semillon belnds and if your penchant is for enjoying them when they aer at their freshest and most vibrant then this is a wine that you should make the effort to track down. It is as crisp as the water from a mountain stream, as pungent as newly-baled hay and fruiter than an old-style English comedian. Imagine vibrant lifted aromas that leap out of the glass; lime citrus notes alongside hints of passionfruit and guava; and then throw in some brisk, refreshing acid. This blend of 55% sauvignon blanc and 45% semillon has been entirely fermented in stainless steel and is hopefully a harbinger of good thing to come from the 2015 vintage out west. Drink now. It’s spectacular value, too, at $20.

The Real Review – Nick Butler: “Great energy and balance in the aromatics – ripe lemons and passionfruit. The palate is creamy and fruit is beautifully balanced. Very good winemaking and blending at play. A high-quality offering at this price.” (2019 Vintage)

2021 Halliday Wine Companion: “A roughly 50/50% blend, cold-fermented in stainless steel. It’s a familiar theme as soon as you put your nose in the glass – pea pod and mown grass, passionfruit and mango or something similarly tropical. A well crafted example of the style, deft winemaking utilising good quality fruit. Chill it down and drink it, don’t think long and hard about it.” 91 points (2019 Vintage)

Ray Jordan – Cellar Talk – “Quite a pungent, full and generous aroma. Tropical fruit with passionfruit and citrus notes. Has plenty of punch and vibrancy with a persistent long palate. A challenging year but the wine has been cleverly put together, with the earlier picked fruit contributing to a punchy, lively mouthfeel. Guava and passionfruit dominant on the nose, while there is just a hint of slight flinty edginess created with the lees influence during fermentation”

Wine Enthusiast Importer Connection – “Fragrant on the nose, this smells of hay, yellow wax beans, grapefruit and blanched almonds. The perky palate mirrors the nose, layering in a crushed chalk note. Moderate in body and nicely dry from start to medium finish, this shows compelling complexity and a tantalizing saltiness on the palate. The vivacious youthfulness gives an immediacy but there’s enough substance here to let this evolve to benefit a few years in bottle.”
