Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The intensity and power of the fruit required just a little oak influence to bring it to life. It was one of those vintages where the fruit qualities expressed all their qualities without being overbearing and in your face. This is exquisitely balance and framed with excellent palate intensity and drive. There is a purity here with the light citrus...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A terrific little value for money blend offering all you expect from this neat combination. Loads of floral notes with a lift of lemon and gooseberry with a trace of Granny Smith. The palate is light and bright with a sustained fine finish. Ready to drink.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is pretty much a field blend, so it is what it is. It’s about a 60% sauvignon blanc dominant blend in this year. All the semillon into older oak and it has a nice textural feel with a mealy fruit character with a sprightly lift of sauvignon blanc. A nice easy drinking style that is flavoursome and neatly crafted...

Oh, there is just so much punchy tropical fruit bursting from this thoroughly beautiful example of this blend. Signature notes of passionfruit and gooseberry on the nose with a slightly dusty herbaceousness in the background. The palate is crisp and fresh with punchy bright fruit flowing through to a long finish. Crisp acid to finish.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A fresh and punchy fruit-driven style bursting with all manner of tropical fruits with a light cut-grass herbaceousness that adds to the wine and never intrudes. Lovely fresh acidity balances the fruit sweetness perfectly. Nice style for spicy Asian food.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Precise yet intensely flavoursome blended white that captures the style and the vintage perfectly. It’s less of a fruit bomb has more a wine of the savoury minerality that keeps it fresh, lively and interesting. This is the style that can bring people back to this blend. You could drink a bit of this and never get bored.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Really belts out some decent aromatics of tropical fruit and subtle grassy characters. Palate has plenty of sweet fruit with an intensity driven by a crisp and crunchy acid. A lift of citrus and passionfruit completes the picture. Ideal in the short term.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The influence of a barrel fermented portion is evident immediately on the nose. It introduces a high degree of complexity with a nutty creamy character complementing the vibrant intensity of the sauvignon blanc and semillon. A striking minerality cuts deep through the palate taking it to a very long finish. Has all the pieces to compete a medium erm cellaring...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is 80% semillon. Has a nice a saline savoury briny character rather than the normal tropical gooseberry lift. It’s all unoaked and has plenty of weight on the palate albeit with a fine lifting acidity to sustain the finish. Stays on the back palate for a long time. Has done well in the show scene. This is mostly from...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The ageing potential for this blend can often be underestimated. This is a case in point. At nearly 8 years old when tasted it was still holding brilliantly. The primary fruit characters have given way to more complex toasty lemon buttery development. But it retains a fresh vibrancy with lovely fruit characters augmented with a little barrel fermentation, still dominant....

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is starting to show those nicely toasted secondary characters. Yet, the purity of the fruit has not been compromised. You sort of expect that from a good vintage. Plenty of flavour intensity with a splash of barrel fermented oak the final touch to a very nice wine. Rich and crunchy juicy palate is thoroughly delicious.

This has a slightly smoky herbaceousness providing a nice balance with the creamy stone fruit characters. Those primary characters of freshly mown grass are still evident with some richer peachy stone fruit filling out the palate. Light touch of oak, and there you have it.

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This combination has just a few years of age and so the primary fruit characters are still evident. It is drinking wonderfully well. The upfront fruit characters have been transformed into less overt aromas and flavours, yet the intensity of the palate is excellent. More stone fruit emerging with that faint hint of oak from a little barrel fermentation, completes...

Great Southern

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Such a pure and pristine example of this style. Has a slightly dusty snow pea and light tropical fruit influence on the nose. Crunchy melon and a splash of citrus adds lift as it moves to a long penetrating finish. There’s great depth of flavour here. Offers a lot more than the standard fruit bomb.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a blended white with a fair bit of class. It’s pungent and intense on the nose, extending through to a crisp intensely flavoured palate. The vibrant bursts of fruit are complemented by some nice barrel fermentation influences which add so much texture and palate richness. Great drinking now but has a few years to see it develop further...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This turned out to be a very good year for these aromatic varieties and here is the quintessential expression of this famous blend. Lifted lemon and melon with a splash of passionfruit and a slice of pear on the nose. The palate is crunchy and lively with a zingy acidity sustaining the long finish. Right on the money for this...
