Blend and Origin
Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2016
An excellent harvest in 2016, complemented by meticulous work in the vineyards, produced a characterful blend. This wine, 57% sauvignon blanc and 43% semillon from vineyards in the cooler half of the Margaret River region, underwent extended fermentation, mainly in stainless steel tanks, with 8% in new oak barrels. It spent four months on lees and was bottled unfiltered.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.

Gently seasoned crab cakes, seared scallops or even a rich and creamy goat cheese tart will pair beautifully with this balanced blend.
