2009 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Silver Medal, Margaret River Wine Show 2009
51% Sauvignon Blanc, 49% Semillon
Fantastic depth and expression in this classic style and popular blend of wine from Margaret River. The nose has notes of melons, freshly cut grass and straw. A small amount of barrel fermentation on older French oak to soften. The palate is packed with fruit and filled out from the Semillon, the Sauvignon Blanc provides zippy acidity and balance and the wine finishes clean and fresh with lingering gooseberry flavours. This is relatively full and rich and is a great match with a chicken salad or pan fried fish with garlic and butter. Or it is simply fantastic on a sunny afternoon with friends!
