Umamu EstateSauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019
About this product
Our Sauvignon Blanc parcel was planted in 1987, while our Semillon parcel was planted in 1997. Both vine canopies are well managed in order to improve light interception and hence development of flavours during ripening, while reducing any microclimate humidity.
The Sauvignon Blanc parcel is located at 130 metres above sea level – one of the highest in the Margaret River wine region. A portion of this homegrown Australian SBS wine was fermented in French oak barrels to provide some background complexities and textures.

Vibrant thrust and acidity. Needed 6 months to settle down when tasted in Sept '19, then its longer-term prospects will have become evident. Alc 12%

Very light yellow hue, with an oak-driven bouquet which suggests cedar and toast and greener-spectrum fruit in the snowpea range. The palate is delicate, dry, lively and refreshing. The oak dominance on nose is not evident in the mouth. Lively, almost shrill acidity gives mouth-watering properties and a refreshing, appetising finish and aftertaste. A$29
