About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc SemillonYarra Valley, AustraliaLifted aromas of mandarin zest, crème anglaise, passionfruit, rockmelon,
papaya, cashew nut and pine-lime splice interplay with undertones of slate,
lanolin and parsley contributed by the Semillon. The trademark expansive,
long and lingering palate, enhanced by barrel fermentation on varying levels
of grape solids, presents as focussed and persistent with a fine drive of acidity
and the hint of tactile tannin. The inclusion of tank-fermented Semillon
channels a fine backbone of natural acidity to underpin the tangy grapefruit,
mango cream and endive flavours and a textured finish. Recommended
serving at 10-12˚C to accentuate weight, length and flavour.
Ageing potential: 8+ years.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Light to mid-yellow colour, with a smoky-toasty bouquet which suggests barrel-fermentation and early development. A fuller style with richness and texture, breadth and amplitude. There is a touch of tannin too, and the aftertaste runs long. A satisfying full-bodied dry white. The oak has been sensitively handled. I suspect it will reward cellaring too.
