"A neatly balanced light boded blend of these two varieties that sit so harmoniously together. The notes of lime and subtle red apple with light passionfruit emerge on the nose. The palate picks them up and adds a nice crunchy acidity to sustain a long finish. This is such good current drinking."

Colour Brilliant, pale straw with green highlights.

Nose Fresh fruit aromatics of guava, pear, lemon oil and lime leaf overlay subtle savoury notes of fresh garden herbs.

Palate A textured and balanced style showing subtle lifts of citrus blossom, grapefruit and lime zest, combined with body and mouthfeel garnered from partial fermentation and maturation on lees. Savoury notes of coastal herbs and fresh rocket add complexity while a punchy, saline acid line ensured a crisp, dry and refreshing finish.

The Sauvignon Blanc portion of the blend was fermented and matured in a combination of new and seasoned French oak, while the Semillon was fermented cool in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and aromatics.
