TASTING NOTES
A gorgeous pale straw colour this is a fresh, exuberant, premium Semilion driven example of the Bordeaux style white Margaret River is renowned for. Intensely aromatic, it exudes aromas of fresh meadow hay. lemon blossom and ripe pineapple, with a lovely conander/lime zest. The palate brims with fresh-cut pineapple, tropical fruits and lemon grass, with the tangy natural acidity delivering a crisp, dry ultra-refreshing finish

VINTAGE & STYLE NOTES
2016 could well be the vintage of the decade for Margaret River aromatic whites, with Semilion s star shinning brightly as the hero of this extraordinary white – wand the Savvy close behind. To capitalise, the premium Semilion and Sauvignon fruit was picked in the cool of night and then processed immediately on arrival at the winery to minimise unwanted oxidising and the need for rapid cooling prior to cold soaking. This maximised the extraordinary varietal characters. The blend was then leaned towards the Semilion reflecting the superb quality of the fruit and the increasing popularity of the classic Semilion led Bordeaux style, upon which Margaret River originally made its name.

MARGARET RIVER
Despite its size, the Margaret River wine regionl produces just 3% of the nation’s grapes but is * the source for production of more than 20% of Australia’s premium wines
