Swan Valley

White Blend

A really delightful blend of chardonnay and semillon. Sure, it's a little unusual as a combination, but it works really well in the Swan Valley. Semillon gives it that fine cutting edge with a little lemon zip, while the chardonnay adds strength and palate weight. Nice citrusy aroma with some melony fruit, followed by a palate showing beautiful, juicy, ripe...

White Blend

What a thoroughly beautiful and delicious, refreshing wine this is. Might be the best yet. Great fruit intensity and concentration, delivered with such poise and refinement. The palate is bright and lively, with impressive clarity and purity. No oak, just pure fruit. If you don’t have a few bottles of this in the fridge over summer, you are nuts.

Western Australia

White Blend

There aren’t too many better value-for-money white wines in WA. This is a blend of Margaret River semillon and sauvignon blanc, and it comes together in an integrated and thoroughly seamless mix. Bright tropical fruits on the nose, cut of lemon, a little spice, and a sustained lift on the finish. Just perfect for summer drinking.

Western Australia

White Blend

Hits the mark for a lively, fresh and highly drinkable combination, displaying all the lifted tropical citrus fruits that you want. Presented on a bright and zingy palate. Has a crunchy, minerally acidity that lifts through to a long finish. Succulent and crunchy with a delicious palate. Ideal for drinking in the short term.

Western Australia

White Blend

This has always delivered a most attractive example of pinot gris from the Great Southern. The colour is a slight copper-toned hue, which is very much synonymous with the variety. The nose is typical of the apple crumble, grilled pear-like characters that you get. It's clean, crisp, with a fine, persistent palate sustained by a lovely little acidity. Excellent current...

Margaret River

White Blend

A wine that reflects the consistently good fruit being sourced off this vineyard. In this case, it has a small amount of barrel fermentation in new French oak, and that's immediately apparent on the nose with that slightly nutty, tropical fruit emerging. The palate is quite superb. It's textured and rich in flavour but delivers with a deft lightness of...

Pemberton

White Blend

This is consistently one of my favourite SBS releases each year. Interesting thing is that it's made up of three clones of sauvignon blanc, which have been co-fermented with about 15% semillon. The beauty and power of the '26 vintage is clearly on show here. It's a wine of intense fruit aromatics with some nice spicy citrus savoury elements. The...

Pemberton

White Blend

A blend of pinot noir and chardonnay sourced from Pemberton is the basis for this exceptional example of a Western Australian sparkling wine. Sittella has been a leader in this style for many years, and this exquisitely crafted wine is a perfect example of why. Lemon meringue, game, some red fruits and a little warm brioche on the nose provide...

Western Australia

White Blend

This is a bright and crunchy little blend of gewürztraminer, riesling and pinot grigio from Pemberton, which in this warmer year delivered some very nice fruit qualities, thanks to its cooler locale. The traminer picks up the spiciness and light lychee notes of the variety, especially on the nose. But it all comes together neatly into a controlled, linear palate,...

Western Australia

White Blend

Captures the brightness and flavours of the ’26 vintage very nicely. Aromas immediately strike with a strong citrus-passionfruit combination, with a little melon. The palate is punchy and flavoursome, with crisp acidity and a nice edge of lime cutting through to the finish. Ideal as a current-drinking wine.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a quite beautiful expression of the SBS blend out of Margaret River. Combines a balanced mix of tropical fruits and light herbaceousness that sit so comfortably together. But it’s the palate where it really hits its straps. Clean, generous flavours, revealing more of those lightly tropical gooseberry notes, and that final herbaceous flick on the finish completes a...

Margaret River

White Blend

This ticks all the boxes for the SBS style out of Margaret River, especially for this more youthful and highly fruit-driven expression. Aromas of gooseberry, cut grass and hay with a decent flash of lemony citrus. The palate is flavoursome, with good intensity controlled with fine acid, finishing clean, crisp and long. Nice current-drinking wine.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a white blend of pinot gris, viognier, gewürztraminer and sauvignon blanc, so you're getting an awful lot of aromatics crammed into a fairly tight space. Do they compete? Well, not really. They actually work together rather well, producing a wine that is, as you would expect, wildly aromatic, with all manner of citrus, roses, ginger, pear and musk...

Western Australia

White Blend

This is an off-dry style of white wine with clean, crisp, fresh aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, with a little orange peel nuance. The palate has a touch of residual sugar, as expected, balanced by clean, zingy acidity. Ideal served chilled with some fresh fruit.

Margaret River

White Blend

This blend really speaks to Margaret River. The combination continues to work extremely well, delivering flavoursome, highly aromatic wines with impressive palate vibrancy. There is a pleasing textural feel, with a small amount of oak fermentation adding complexity and weight. A most attractive current drinking style.

Margaret River

White Blend

Fraser Gallop has been a champion of this style of wine for some time. So in this case it's been fermented with wild yeasts and then matured in a combination of new and second-fill French oak. So, the oak plays an important part, but it's well-managed so it doesn't intrude beyond creating a complex textural aromatic influence. Nutty, lightly tropical...

Margaret River

White Blend

It's largely a sauvignon blanc and semillon blend but about 5% verdelho has been added and it plays an important role especially on the palate. This is as pure an expression of this blend as you could get after hand-harvesting. It was naturally fermented and there were no additions so you're getting a quite beautiful expression of the fruit in...

Margaret River

White Blend

This wine was first launched into the market 40 years ago. And it remains one of the signature styles and examples of this blend from Margaret River. It’s always controlled and never over the top, with a nice combination of the dominant lemony semillon with the more aromatic, fruity sauvignon blanc. It all knits neatly together, producing a wine that...

Frankland River

White Blend

The dominant aromatics of traminer are well to the fore in this crisp and delightfully fragrant Frankland River-sourced blend. Nice floral notes, touch of lychee and peach, and then a crisp, piercing acidity which sustains the long finish. This is an immediately appealing current drinking wine with lots to offer.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a punchy white blend just loaded with exuberant fruit characters from the start. Lots of tropical, gooseberry, citrusy characters with a little balancing fresh cut hay nuance. Spicy, crunchy palate extends easily through to a long finish with those tropical fruits in abundance but held with that fine tight acidity giving it focus and depth.

Margaret River

White Blend

Crunchy, vibrant, juicy, flavoursome. These are just some of the terms you might use to describe this delightfully friendly blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon. On the nose, the passionfruit, gooseberry, citrus thing is so engaging, and then the palate has a real zingy crispness about it, slightly crunchy, with a clean, crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal to drink now or...

Swan Valley

White Blend

Here is the quintessential Swan Valley variety. It’s grown in front of the winery. Beautiful, refined and delicate fruit, but with plenty of flavour intensity. Such beautifully integrated acidity. It’s a fine and precise wine, but there is tremendous fruit depth and drive within its light body.

Swan Valley

White Blend

This has verdelho, semillon and a little vermentino. Has a beautiful aroma of florals, spice and citrus. The palate is clean and crisp, with the vermentino playing a crucial role in fine-tuning and focusing through to a long finish. This is a beautiful current-drinking wine.

Swan Valley

White Blend

This is a combination of verdelho and semillon. Has plenty of fruit intensity here, with that punchy tropical citrus infusion from the verdelho so prominent. The semillon provides a nice edgy lemon character. Plenty of flavour through to a long finish. This is a very tidy wine.

Margaret River

White Blend

Perhaps the quintessential example of the sauvignon blanc semillon blend from Margaret River, but of course it is augmented with about 23% chardonnay, hence LTC — light touch of chardonnay. While the sauvignon blanc and semillon certainly provide the lift, aromatics, and flavour intensity, it is the chardonnay that gives the wine its strength of character, structure, and depth. This...

Margaret River

White Blend

For many years, this has been one of the most distinctive Cape Mentelle wines. It’s a blend of 91% sauvignon blanc with the remainder semillon, made in a white Bordeaux style using barrel fermentation and maturation in oak, with a portion matured in concrete egg and clay amphora. The aroma is deeply complex from the start, with a nutty, lemony,...

Pemberton

White Blend

The fruit for this wine comes from John Brocksopp's property in Pemberton. Fermented with natural yeast in large format oak. This has a lovely texture but it is not overly heavy and thick. It retains a vibrant fine refreshing drive. There is the usual phenolic influence there but there is a fine lift on the nose and palate. Plenty of...

Geographe

White Blend

This is a classic French Fumé style, which, after hand-picking, was matured in French oak, and that is clearly evident on the nose and on the palate. Adds a smoky, savory, and slightly nutty nuance to the vibrant fruit, with a palate that delivers richness and texture. The key is that the oak doesn't dominate. It still allows the fruit...

Geographe

White Blend

A neat little current drinking wine that combines freshness and flavour with a crunchy, lively palate. Typical of the year, there's a degree of delicacy with a melony citrus character that opens on the nose and then threads through to a palate where a crunchy citrus, lemony zip adds to the very subtle tropical passionfruit nuance. It's a lighter-bodied example...

Margaret River

White Blend

I've been a fan of this wine since it was introduced just a few years ago, and I have to say, this one from what was an excellent season stacks up with any that have yet been released. Aromas of a complex nutty citrus, slightly savory character. And yet for me, it's the palate where this wine really hits its...

Margaret River

White Blend

Fresh, racy, zippy, and crunchy. This is your quintessential SBS from Margaret River. From organically grown fruit it shows lovely brightness on the nose with crunchy passionfruit and citrus. The palate picks up a little more lemony tang, retaining its vibrant energy through to the finish. Clean and crisp with fine acidity.

Margaret River

White Blend

A terrific value SSB blend showing racy, zesty fruit characters. Light-bodied with good flavour intensity and a clean, crisp finish. Nails the style and offers excellent value.

Margaret River

White Blend

Light-bodied, sleek, and flavoursome. Tropical notes with a grassy edge and lifted lemon citrus. Refreshing and crisp, ideal for current drinking.

Pemberton

White Blend

If you think you’ve seen just about every example of sauvignon blanc and sémillon from this state, think again. This is an outstanding take on a blend that can sometimes be ho-hum, but in the right hands can be something special. Here, three clones of sauvignon blanc are co-fermented with 15% sémillon. The result is compelling: delightful lemon aromatics, subtle...

Margaret River

White Blend

A clever blend of sauvignon blanc, semillon and chardonnay, lightly oaked to give the final flourish to a neatly made wine. GWB stands for Great White, a nod to Cath Oates’ close encounter with one some years ago. It has a crisp, grassy edge, a creamy rich palate and light passionfruit tropical notes. Still tight now, but it will evolve...

Margaret River

White Blend

A classic Margaret River blend with added complexity from 10% French oak wild yeast fermentation. The nose shows tropical fruit, light lemon and fresh-cut grass. The palate is zingy and crisp, with passionfruit and a neat lime lift. Perfect for current drinking.

Great Southern

White Blend

This Italian variety works super well. Sourced from the Great Southern is certainly one of the best. It has a creamy, nutty character, with aromas of cashew and light stone fruit. The palate is quite rich and creamy, but it's held together with a tight acidity that gives it focus and precision as it extends to its logically long finish....

Frankland River

White Blend

A neat little blend of three varieties, with the traminer bringing a distinctive spicy edge, the riesling the citrus tang and the pinot grigio a little apple and pear crumble. It’s clean and crisp with a nice minerally lemon and rose petal nuance. Lovely current drinking.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a neat little blend of sauvignon blanc and chardonnay sourced from vineyards well south of Margaret River. So it is a cooler site interpretation, and it’s also had some barrel fermentation. For a wine that sells for just $25, there is a degree of winemaking input and complexity that really shows. I like the lift of the savvy...

Frankland River

White Blend

This is a wine that lifts what is often a fairly ho-hum combination into something special. It’s sourced from Frankland River in a good year and was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and older oak. The result is a wine of texture and richness, while retaining those high-toned aromatics of ginger and citrus from the two varieties. Pure...
