Nose
This is the very essence of Margaret River SSB; Semillon characters of herbs, lemon grass,
melon and nectarine along with a twist of lanolin drive the blend with Sauvignon layers of
lime zest, cut grass and passion fruit pulp adding a lovely lift.
Palate
Dry, juicy and refreshing with intense, long flavours.
Growing Conditions
The fruit is sourced throughout Margaret River to truly capture the distinct of the region. Flavour
development was closely monitored, with the fruit harvested during the coolest part of the night to
capture the freshness of the grapes.
Winemaking
The fruit was softly pressed with only the highest quality juice used to create the final blend. The juice
was then settled for a few days at 10°C before being racked off, inoculated and fermented at an even
rate to maximise fruit expression. When dry, most batches were clarified to remove the yeast lees before
being chilled and stabilised. This wine was filtered only once prior to an early bottling. The 2016 vintage
had lower than average yield but the smaller quantity showcased exceptional quality, a standard which the
Margaret River region is renowned for.
Appearance
Very pale with a vibrant, light green rim.
Food Pairing
Grilled wild barramundi
