Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The whites from this very southern vineyard in Margaret River consistently produce such beautiful, pristine, lively fruit characters, which are captured perfectly in this wine. It brings together the subtle gooseberry of the sauvignon blanc, with a little bit of grassy, lemony character from the semillon. Tremendous intensity and persistence through a fine, lingering palate. Absolutely nails the style.

This is the second release of this wine, which was introduced when Moss Wood decided to move its semillon into a cellar release with five years of age. It’s Moss Wood semillon and Ribbon Vale sauvignon blanc, with a little barrel fermentation and maturation. This is an SSB with class. The nutty, lightly fruity aromas and flavours are exquisitely presented,...

They don't come more classic than this. It's a semillon sauvignon blanc blend exhibiting the lovely, generous flavours of the 2025 vintage. Loads of tropical, punchy stone fruit and zesty lemon essence combine into a thoroughly appealing current-drinking blend. The palate feel is exquisite and the flavour lingers. Great example of the style.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Beautiful example of the quality of fruit from the 2026 vintage. This is a punchy, lively expression of the style without being overblown, with ripe tropical notes. A little muted initially, but ultimately more intense and concentrated, retaining slightly melony, citrus and lemony characters. A subtle brush of herbaceousness adds the final complexing touch. Beautiful current drinking.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The textural and aromatic influence of some older oak fermentation is certainly evident both in the weight and the complexity that takes this fairly standard blend up a notch. There's a nice light nutty tropical fruit aromatic and then a clean crisp vibrant palate with that combination of gooseberry and guava which picks up the savvy and little citrus tang...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Here's a wine that's all about current drinking, freshness and vibrancy. It's about 50% semillon, 38% sauvignon blanc, with the balance chardonnay providing the backbone and structure to carry the wine through to a sustained finish. The aromas are dominated by citrusy lemon with a little sliced pear. The palate is fresh and zingy, with appealing texture and bright natural...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The complexity is immediately evident on the nose of this classic Margaret River combination. Part of each variety was wild fermented in oak, and this has added some lovely aromatics and a textural feel that sets it apart from the standard versions. Lightly nutty, with floral notes and a little citrus edge coming from the refreshing palate. Excellent concentration and...

This is a superb example of the style, made from some of the oldest semillon and sauvignon blanc vines in the region. It displays engaging fruit intensity with vibrant energy, supported by gentle use of oak, striking a really perfect balance with a slightly creamy texture and fine, persistent lemony acidity for energy and lift through to the finish.

A quintessential Margaret River blend with its beautiful florals and melons on the nose and a palate that delivers with a lemony fruit character and a dusting of dried herbs. It's crisp, flavoursome and refreshing. And right on the money for this style.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Made as a bright and fresh blended white, but with a little oak adding complexity, especially on the palate. Light lemon and fragrant tropical notes on the nose. The palate is held close, with the lightly applied oak sitting snugly within. Impressively concentrated and intense with a lifted, racy finish. Excellent wine.

A refreshing, pure expression of this blend, showing more mineral and savoury character than the usual fruit-driven styles. Made with a hands-off approach to let the fruit shine. Subtle gooseberry and lemon pith with a fine, lingering minerality. Excellent texture and balance.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A fine, crisp, crunchy style. It brings these two bedfellows close together. Has the typical lemon, lemon zest, and slightly apple and pear character with a little grassy, guava influence. It all hugs together and then releases through to a nice, clean, crisp finish. Perfect summer drinking.

Some pretty good fruit goes into this entry-level wine that each year continues to deliver really nice current drinking. It seems like it's been around for ages, and it has, with its bright, fruity, refreshing style, loaded with a tropical citrus mix and a crunchy, clean, vibrant finish. Screams out for current drinking.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

In many ways quite stylistically similar to the sauvignon blanc in that it delivers its load with restraint, poise and control. It's not dominated by opulent fruit characters, and yet deep within there is an intensity of citrusy, light melony fruit that carries remarkably easily to a very long finish. It's just such an easy drink and really well presented.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

An extra year or two in bottle will take this wine into another zone. It punches out a tremendous wave of tropical gooseberry passionfruit and even a little limey grapefruit on the nose. The palate is still vibrant and crunchy with a slightly melony pebble-like character. Just that hint of French oak has brought another dimension and turned this into...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Punchy and crisp, fresh as a daisy blend offering plenty of immediate enjoyment. A grassy stone fruit combo is held tight and crisp with a fine, delicate acid. Yet the fleshy fruit wraps it up nicely. Excellent wine in the short term.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This has been a distinctive and complex style from Willow Bridge over a number of years, and this one, from a very good vintage, is as good as I have seen. Made traditionally with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, and then three months in French oak. It adds texture and complexity, but in this case, it's certainly not overdone. The...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The trick to making this wine just a little bit ahead of the norm is the three months it was left on gross lees, and that's added some texture and some richness to the normal bright, zippy, racy fruit that you get with these two varieties. It all hangs together rather well, with refined, restrained tropical fruits, some nice citrus,...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Year in and year out, this remains one of my favourite sauvignon blanc sémillon blends, albeit with an important inclusion of chardonnay and chenin, which completes what is always an impeccably made wine. It has structure, fruit intensity and tremendous appeal, with lots of lovely, crunchy tropical fruit on the nose and through the palate. It was a warm year,...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Oh boy, you get a decent hit of pungent herbaceous tropical fruits initially on the nose. Loaded with those nectarine and other stone fruit influences and a little lemony edge. There’s a nice mix of lemon and honey with the faintest of French oak touches to complete the textural feel. Terrific wine for the next few years.

There’s a bit happening in this light bodied, bracing, fresh blended white. Aromas of spicy citrus with a tangy tropical fruit laced with lemon sherbet. It’s crisp and clean through to a precise finish. Ready to go now.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

For some time now Rosily’s take on this blend has included a small amount of oak maturation, and it makes all the difference, elevating it from a simple and fruity blend into something with a bit of character. At the same time the essential bright fruit characters with a bracing lemon zip are not lost.

Great Southern

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a really well made young blended white from the Great Southern. Sure, it’s restrained in line with the vintage, but there is quite beautiful perfume and then a precise palate with a persistent light flavour. Has a crunchy lightly citrus and minerally feel with a little light nuttiness and a keen lip-smacking acid to lift on the crunchy...

A zesty and bright blended white that just asks to be drunk in the next 12 months. Bright tropical and grassy characters with a little cut grass and light snow pea. Finishes crunchy and lively with a crisp acidity.

A neatly balanced light boded blend of these two varieties that sit so harmoniously together. The notes of lime and subtle red apple with light passionfruit emerge on the nose. The palate picks them up and adds a nice crunchy acidity to sustain a long finish. This is such good current drinking.

A lighter style of SBS, but one that has excellent fruit character and intensity. Lightly herbaceous but sitting beneath is the vibrant core of tropical citrussy fruit. It’s bright and lively with a crisp long finish providing a refreshing lift.
