Details

A pleasing combination of bright summer fruit flavours from the sauvignon blanc grape and a generous texture from the semillon, this well-balanced white wine from Australia's Margaret River region is zesty and fresh with great minerality and a slight creaminess.

Made from fruit sourced from vineyards where a cool overnight temperature preserves natural acidity and aromatics, this wine is aged on its lees for several months to add texture and richness before bottling.

TASTING NOTES:
Crisp, radiant, aromatic

Appearance

Bright pale straw colour with brilliant green edges.

Aroma

Green apple skin, orange blossom and green papaya with hints of passion fruit, white peach and nectarine.

Taste

On the palate, intense flavours of ripe apple, lemon and lemon curd tart, hints of ginger, honey and honeydew melon, with a creaminess balanced by a refreshing acidity.

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Cape Mentelle Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2021

The grapes suffered twice the average rainfall early on, but a warm couple of months with both hot days and cool nights gave some reprive to the vines.

More rain followed and the season ended with mild conditions resulting in fresh natural acidity and fruit with a wonderful depth of flavour.

The resulting blend is 88% sauvignon blanc and 12% semillon.
